  1. CIconfidence interval, bold print indicates statistically significant values, afor WHO and Katz-ADL we controlled for baseline (T0) data in the GEE models as there were significant differences between the intervention and comparison groups at baseline. QUALID scale: Quality of Life in Dementia Scale, an observational scale, range with minimum score 11 indicating high QOL and maximum score is 55 indicating poor QOL. WHO-5 index: WHO-5 well-being index: self-report, score from 0 (worst thinkable well-being) to 100 (best thinkable well-being). Numeric Rating Scale: self-report, from 0 (no pain) through 10 (worst imaginable pain). Katz index of ADLs: score from 0 to 6, higher score indicating more dependency. ADCS-ADL: Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living Scale, scale from 0 to 54 points with lower scores indicating more dependency
