| Popis: | Persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are at particular risk of malnutrition and weight loss. Clinical research concerning the role and impact of nutritional intervention in early-stage ADRD, specifically on cognition and key symptoms such as behavior, is less straightforward. Thus, an integrative review was conducted to examine the literature pertaining to nutritional interventions for persons with ADRD and to make recommendations for priority areas for future research and practice. Findings from the studies reviewed highlight multiple potential opportunities for improving nutritional status and support for persons with ADRD living in the community. Despite the small amount of evidence, the six studies identified in the current review suggest a broad benefit may be conferred through educational approaches and nutritional supplementation.
