In an update of a previous 2008 review, this systematic review review evaluated the results of 16 trials (search date August 2012), including 937 participants, that tested whether exercise programs could improve cognition, activities of daily living, challenging behaviour, depression, and mortality in older people with dementia or benefit their family caregivers. The review found promising evidence that exercise programs can significantly improve the cognitive functioning of people with dementia and their ability to perform daily activities, but there was a lot of variation between trial results that we were not able to explain. The studies showed no significant effect of exercise on mood, with little or no evidence regarding behaviour, mortality in older people with dementia, benefit to family caregivers, or use of health care services. The review calls for further well-designed research to examine these outcomes and to determine the best type of exercise program for people with different types and severity of dementia.

La revisión encontró evidencia prometedora de que los programas de ejercicios pueden mejorar significativamente el funcionamiento cognitivo de las personas con demencia y su capacidad para realizar las actividades diarias, pero había una gran cantidad de variación entre los resultados de los ensayos que no hemos sido capaces de explicar. Los estudios no mostraron un efecto significativo del ejercicio sobre el estado de ánimo, con poca o ninguna evidencia sobre el comportamiento, la mortalidad en personas mayores con demencia, beneficio para los cuidadores familiares, o el uso de los servicios de salud. El examen requiereinvestigación adicional bien diseñado para examinar estos resultados y determinar el mejor tipo de programa de ejercicios para personas con diferentes tipos y la gravedadde la demencia.
