Notes References Close search. In addition, PA and further secondary outcomes were evaluated. Balance and strength activities and means to enhance PA were delivered in seven intervention sessions, either in a group gLiFE or individually at the participant's home LiFE , followed by two "booster" phone calls.
Negative binomial regression was used to analyze non-inferiority of gLiFE compared to LiFE at 6-month follow-up; interventions costs were compared descriptively; secondary outcomes were analyzed using generalized linear models. Analyses were carried out per protocol and intention-to-treat. Differences in other secondary outcomes were insignificant. The fact that no significant differences were found in any secondary outcome underlines that gLiFE addresses functional outcomes to a comparable degree as LiFE.
Advantages of both formats should be evaluated in the light of individual needs and preferences before recommending either format.
