Sumario:In this response letter, we would like to clarify some aspects related to the methodology and inferences derived from our work entitled 'Effects of Vivifrail multicomponent intervention on functional capacity', which was aimed at investigating the effects of a home-based multicomponent individualized exercise programme (Vivifrail) on the functional capacity of frail older adults with mild cognitive impairment/dementia. Yan et al.2 raised concerns related to the amount of data missingness and methods used to handle it in our study. Although we addressed this issue as a limitation of the Discussion section of the original report, we now take the opportunity to further discuss its implications.
