Dorothy Forbes, Professor, Faculty of Nursing, University of Alberta, Edmonton led the session and presented findings from her latest Cochrane review:

Forbes, D., Forbes, S. C., Blake, C. M., Thiessen, E. J., & Forbes, S. (2015). Exercise programs for people with dementia. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015(4), CD006489.

As the population ages, the number of people suffering with dementia will also rise. Not only will this affect quality of life of people with dementia but will also increase the burden of family caregivers, community care, and residential care services. Exercise interventions have been identified as a potential way of reducing or delaying the progression of dementia and its symptoms. This review examines two questions: do exercise programs for older people with dementia improve cognition, activities of daily living (ADLs), challenging behaviour, depression, and mortality in older people with dementia? and; do exercise programs for older people with dementia have an indirect impact on family caregivers' burden, quality of life, and mortality?
