Primary outcomes

  1. Kendrick Cognitive Test for the Elderly (KCTE).

    Time frame: Baseline line and six-month

    Participants' attention and episodic memory were quantified using the Kendrick Cognitive Test for the Elderly (KCTE).

Secondary outcomes

  1. The Chinese Disability Assessment for Dementia (CDAD)

    Time frame: Baseline and 6-month after the start of the program

    for assessing executive function in older adults with dementia. Its focus on initiating, planning, and executing activities provides a practical and ecologically valid measure of executive dysfunction, aligning closely with the real-world challenges faced by older Chinese people with dementia.
