Approximately half the care for people with dementia is provided by families. It is therefore imperative that research informs ways of maintaining such care. In this study we propose that a needs-led approach can provide a useful, novel means of conceptualising the impact of caring on the lives of family carers.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects 5.2 million Americans in 2016. Recent advances in mechanistic studies of aerobic exercise in AD suggest that the therapeutic role that aerobic exercise plays in stabilizing or improving cognition in AD may be grounded in its ability to induce favorable changes in cerebral structure and function.
