Mobile Health Management Frailty Care Program: Through the "LINE" communication software, participants are provided with exercise and nutrition information three times a week, with a total of 36 messages. As well as 6 podcasts of health information and 6 sports videos in total. At weeks 2, 4, and 6, researchers scheduled 5- to 10-minute telephone consultations. Participants can receive guidance through telephone consultations and carry a Xiaomi sports band wearable device to monitor their exercise.
Study summary
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the effect of mobile health intervention on frailty, physical fitness, physical activity, and nutritional status of elderly patients with colorectal cancer. The main questions it aim to answer are: 1. Does the mobile health intervention reduce frailty in elderly colorectal cancer patients compared to standard care? 2. Does the mobile health intervention improve physical fitness, physical activity, and nutritional status in elderly colorectal cancer patients compared to standard care? Participants will receive the Mobile Health Management Frailty Care Program.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Frailty — Pre-test, sixth week after intervention, 13th week after intervention Assessing frailty status using the G8 geriatric screening tool. Scores range from 0 to 17, with 0 indicating severe impairment and 17 indicating no impairment. The lower the score, the more frail it is.
Physical Activity — Pre-test, sixth week after intervention, 13th week after intervention Assess physical activity with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form. The IPAQ-SF evaluates the number of days and time spent performing MVPA, walking, and sitting in bouts of at least 10 min over the previous 7 days. The summary score is expressed in PA metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-min per day or week.
Nutritional Status — Pre-test, sixth week after intervention, 13th week after intervention Assess nutritional status with Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form. The total score is 0-14 points. A score of 12 or more indicates a low risk of malnutrition. A score of 8-11 indicates a potential risk of malnutrition. A score less than 7 indicates a high risk of malnutrition.
