nutrition education plus active supplementExercise

nutrition education plus active supplement: Nutrition Group (NUT) Participants will receive standard clinical care combined with nutrition education and protein-enriched soy milk supplementation for approximately 2 weeks before surgery and about 3 weeks after hospital discharge.

Exercise: Exercise and Nutrition Participants will receive peri-habilitation exercise training together with nutritional intervention, including carbohydrate plus protein-enriched soy milk supplementation twice daily (before and after exercise), for approximately 2 weeks before surgery and about 3 weeks after hospital discharge.

Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the clinical applicability of a peri-habilitation program in patients with gastric cancer by applying nutritional intervention for approximately two weeks before surgery and a combined exercise and nutrition intervention for about three weeks after hospital discharge, and by analyzing its effects on the prevention of postoperative complications and recovery.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 65 years or older who have been diagnosed with gastric cancer and are scheduled to undergo surgical treatment or chemotherapy. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with severe conditions who are unable to undergo the intervention prior to surgical treatment or chemotherapy. * Patients with physical (e.g., musculoskeletal) or mental disorders that make participation in or continuation of the program impossible. * Patients judged to be at risk of additional physical burden from the intervention.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Gait speed test — Baseline (2 weeks before surgery) Preoperative hospitalization (1-4 days before surgery) Postoperative discharge (at hospital discharge) 3 weeks after discharge 6 months after surgery
    * Time to walk 4 meters (or 3 meters) at a normal, comfortable pace. * Seconds(sec) * Lower values(seconds) indicate better performance (faster walking speed)
  • Chair stand test — Baseline (2 weeks before surgery) Preoperative hospitalization (1-4 days before surgery) Postoperative discharge (at hospital discharge) 3 weeks after discharge 6 months after surgery
    * Time to stand up and sit down 5 times from a chair without using the arms. * Seconds(sec) * Lower values(seconds) indicate better performance.
  • Balance test — Baseline (2 weeks before surgery) Preoperative hospitalization (1-4 days before surgery) Postoperative discharge (at hospital discharge) 3 weeks after discharge 6 months after surgery
    * Time maintaining balance in three positions (feet together, semi-tandem, and tandem stance). The maximum time allowed for each position is 10 seconds. * Seconds(sec) * Higher values(seconds) indicate better performance.
  • Timed up and go test — Baseline (2 weeks before surgery) Preoperative hospitalization (1-4 days before surgery) Postoperative discharge (at hospital discharge) 3 weeks after discharge 6 months after surgery
    * Time to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, walk back, and sit down. * Seconds(sec) * Lower values(seconds) indicate better performance.
