“…22 The evidence used to inform the development of the first draft of the manual and intervention was derived from the PRIDE team"s expertise and work including; a literature review of the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions to promote and maintain independence in early-stage dementia, a scoping review of social participation in people with dementia living in the community, evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) cohort about the links between loneliness and cognitive decline, the role of physical activity/exercise interventions, and the use of computers and the internet in cognitive function. [23][24][25][26][27] The research team developed a first draft of the intervention and manual with input from people with dementia, supporters, DAWs, older people, and healthcare professionals, consulting these groups in a series of informal meetings, and via email. The manual was then updated based on consultation feedback to create a second draft, which will be tested in this feasibility study.…”

“…Another related issue is folic acid fortification in starch. White and African- American elderly aged between 70 and 79 years of the observational Health, Aging and Body Composition longitudinal study ( 24 ) had a 9-year follow-up and 923 people underwent cognitive tests.
