Physical activity for people with young-onset dementia and carers: protocol for a scoping review
Abstract Background Physical activity has been cited as a potential symptomatic treatment option for people living with dementia. At present, much of the research concerning physical activity and dementia considers older adults, and there are several review articles summarising the evidence in this...
