Methods: Initially, the sample consisted of 37 community-dwelling patients with Alzheimer's disease. Eventually, only 30 patients participated in the intervention protocols offered, and they were divided into two groups: a training group with 14 patients and a social interaction group with 16 patients. All patients were evaluated using several instruments. We also analyzed the levels of serum homocysteine and lipid profiles. Results: There were no significant relations between level of physical activity, lipid profile, and homocysteine. The training group exhibited reduced total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), as well as increased concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). However, the social interaction group exhibited decreased total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol. There were no significant differences in the homocysteine concentrations for the two groups. Conclusion: No relationships were found between physical activity and metabolic variables. For both groups, changes were observed in the concentrations of total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol.
