Abstract
Date Presented 03/26/20
An exploratory cross-sectional research design investigated group differences between family caregivers (FCGs) and people with dementia (PWD) in measures of fitness and cognition. Findings showed at least 40% of PWD performed below the threshold of functional mobility in every measure tested. At least 6.7% of FCGs performed below the threshold for functional mobility in five of the six measures. Despite being younger than 60 years old, FCGs still showed a risk for loss of functional mobility.
