We recruited 52 sedentary older male and female adults with mild or moderate dementia from 2 daycare centers in Busan, South Korea.

Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) age≥65 years, (2) Korean Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE-K) score=15-23, (3) diagnosis of probable dementia based on comprehensive neuropsychological testing (Korean Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease [CERAD-K] test battery), and (4) ability to perform physical exercise and daily life (Korean Activity of Daily Living [K-ADL]).
