Many older Veterans have difficulty staying active and often lack information about how to safely exercise. While current guidelines focus mostly on weight loss, losing weight alone can weaken muscles and bones, which may actually raise the risk of falls and injuries. This study is testing the benefits of a virtual group exercise program combined with health education. The goal is to find out if exercise combined with health education is better at lowering fall risk and improving daily activity than health education alone for Veterans with obesity and signs of sarcopenia.","overall_status":"Recruiting","phases":[],"study_type":"INTERVENTIONAL","sponsor":"VA Office of Research and Development","enrollment":50,"countries":["United States"],"start_date":"2026-04-01","completion_date":"2031-05-30","last_update_date":"2026-04-21","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07206368","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
