Abstract
Background: Dementia is a chronic disorder which, mainly, affects people over 65 years old. It is estimated that it affects over 50.000.000 people around the world. Non- pharmacological strategies can play a vital role in dementia, considering that most of them are low-cost, safe and have no side effects.Psychoeducational programmes aim to inform the informal caregivers about dementia and its progress, and exercise has been showing positive effects in dementia. Their combination has been examined lately in a few studies in terms of enhancing the cognitive functions and quality of life for both patients and caregivers and decrease the unwanted behaviours.
