A trial will be developed, with the aim to assess the effects of multicomponent interventions, including physical exercise and cognitive training administered through the use of new technologies (apps, wearable devices,…), dietary intervention based on the paradigm of the Mediterranean Diet (MD) using functional foods targeted to older individuals, and vaccines administration, according to the National Immunization Plan, among institutionalized older adults. The overall objective is to effectively decrease the transition from frailty to disability to total dependence in the long term care residents.
