Abstract: Objective To construct the home-based exercise program for elderly patients with frailty and osteoporosis, so as to provide evidence for the home-based exercise management. Methods Through systematically searching domestic and foreign literatures about exercise intervention for osteoporosis and frailty in the elderly, the scheme was constructed through literature research, study group discussion and 2 rounds of Delphi consultation among 15 experts. Results The effective response rates of 2 rounds of consultations were 100%. The experts authority coefficient was 0.905. After 2 rounds of consultations, the importance score of the indicators was 4.43-5.00, and the coefficient of variation was 0-0.23, Kendall’s W coefficient was 0.359 (P<0.001). Finally, a home-based exercise program for elderly patients with frailty and osteoporosis was formed, including 3 first-level indicators, 11 second-level indicators and 46 third-level indicators. Conclusions The home-based exercise program constructed in this study is scientific and reliable, which can provide references for home exercise management in the elderly patients with osteoporosis and frailty in the future.
