Understanding physical activity interventions for people living with dementia: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
The results from this review highlight the impact of physical activity interventions on QoL and mobility for people living with dementia. The meta-analysis will provide quantitative estimates for the effects of physical activity interventions on specific outcomes related to functional abilities and QoL. Furthermore, exploring the effectiveness by intervention dose and delivery in subgroup analyses will also allow us to better inform guidelines regarding interventions, programs, and policy related to physical activity interventions. Lastly, we will identify knowledge gaps where research is needed.
