Study Summary

The Overall Aim of the present proposal is to evaluate the feasibility of an integrated mind-body intervention, Activate for Life, to improve overall physical activity and mental health and reduce pain and fatigue, resulting in increased likelihood of Aging in Place. Both subjective self-report (i.e., Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System PROMIS measures of pain, fatigue, depression and anxiety) and objective accelerometer data will be collected, along with standardized measures of balance, strength, and stability. In addition, the measures will be complemented with biomarker-based measures of stress, including cortisol based and 1,5-AG anhydroglucitol assays before, during, and after treatment that are correlated with stress, and fatigue symptoms.

Primary Outcome

Change in mean pain T-scores as measured with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System PROMIS Pain Intensity short form 3a, which allows for individuals to report how much a person hurts. The lowest possible raw score is 4; the highest possible raw score is 20. Raw summed scores are converted to T-score values that are standardized such that 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and a standard deviation of 10 points. A higher T-score represents more
