About

People with dementia shows a decline in cognition, such as memory, executive function (EF), language, attention, and spatial orientation that is significant enough to interfere with the independence and daily functioning. Previous studies reported that multicomponent exercise improved EF in people with mild cognitive impairment and independence of ADL in those with Alzheimer's disease. However, few studies investigated whether multicomponent exercise improved EF, memory, and ADL in people with dementia. Therefore, the purposes of this study are to examine 1) the effect of multicomponent exercise on EF, memory, and ADL in people with mild to moderate dementia; 2) the correlation between change in EF and ADL; 3) the correlation between change in memory and ADL.
