AB  - This systematic review aims to assess the efficacy of light therapy on 
      behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), cognition, functional 
      status, and quality of life in older adults with cognitive impairment; and 
      secondarily, to identify the optimal characteristics of light therapy to 
      establish an adequate protocol for its clinical application. We searched Web of 
      Science and Medline databases through December 2019, resulting in 36 included 
      articles: 3 evaluated the effects on BPSD, 25 on sleep, 12 on agitation, 10 on 
      mood, 4 on neuropsychiatric symptoms, 4 on cognition, 2 on quality of life and 2 
      on functional status. Literature has shown potential evidence for positive 
      effects of light therapy on managing sleep, behavioural and mood disturbances in 
      people with cognitive impairment, but a limited effect on cognition, quality of 
      life and functional status. This review provides guidelines for intervention 
      protocols with light therapy in older people with cognitive impairment.
