Lewy body dementia (LBD) is an aggressive type of dementia of rapid, fluctuating disease trajectory, higher incidence of adverse events, and poorer functional independence than observed in Alzheimer’s disease dementia. Non-pharmacological treatments such as progressive, high-intensity exercise are effective in other neurological cohorts but have been scarcely evaluated in LBD.
The prevalence of obesity is increasing among older adults, and was present in 14% of older European nursing home residents. Obesity has several adverse health-related outcomes in older adults. However, the latter association is not straightforward; obesity has been associated with reduced mortality in patients with established CVD (e.g., heart failure and coronary heart disease), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cancer. This phenomenon has been called the obesity paradox.
