Dementia also takes a toll on people who are suffering from it and places a burden on caregivers. Dementia can cause neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, changes in mood, increased irritability, and changes in personality and behaviour along with problems like memory, language, and decision-making, Also Read - Parkinson's disease: 'Focused' ultrasound may help treat the condition

People suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia have twice the risk of falls in comparison with people without dementia. Around 60 per cent of older adults with dementia will tend to fall each year. Reportedly, researchers suggested that having neuropsychiatric symptoms might predict whether an older person with AD/dementia is likely to have a fall. While it is a known fact that exercise can reduce the risk of fall in people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Reportedly, a team of researchers decided to examine whether exercise could reduce the risk of falling among community-dwelling people with AD who also had neuropsychiatric symptoms. They also reviewed a study that investigated the effects of an exercise program for older adults with the AD (the FINALEX trial).

Reportedly, the original FINALEX study then examined and compared older adults who had home- or group-based exercise training along with the people who didn’t exercise but they received regular care. The findings suggest that people who exercised had a lower risk of falls than those who didn’t exercise. Also, there was also a higher risk of falls in those who had lower scores on psychological tests and weren’t physically active.

Reportedly, according to the revelations of the study, exercise can reduce the risk of falling for older adults.
