Older Hispanics routinely exhibit unhealthy beliefs about “normal” aging trajectories, particularly related to exercise and physical function. We evaluated the prospective effects of age reattribution on physical function in older Hispanics. Participants (n = 565; ≥60 years) were randomly assigned into: a) treatment group— attribution-retraining or b) control group— health education. Each group separately engaged in four weekly 1-hour group discussions and 1-hour exercise classes, followed by monthly maintenance sessions. The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) measured physical function throughout the 24-month intervention. No significant difference in physical function between intervention arms was evident over time. However, both groups experienced significant improvements in physical function at 24 months (β = 0.43, 95% CI 0.16,0.70). Participating in the exercise intervention was associated with improvements in physical function, though, no additional gains were apparent for age attribution retraining. Future research should consider strengthening or modifying intervention content for age reattribution or dosage received. |
