      Mental Functions and Nutrition in Older People with Dementia.

AB  - This study evaluated changes of cognitive, physical, and nutritional status 
      before and after the interruption and resumption of daycare services during the 
      COVID-19 pandemic in older dementia people in a daycare center. Comprehensive 
      geriatric assessment data were analyzed before and after the lockdown of daycare 
      center services, including mini-mental state examination, activities of daily 
      living (ADL) scores, mini-nutritional assessment-short forms (MNA-SF), and timed 
      up-and-go (TUG) tests. Among 19 dementia people participating in daycare 
      services, 17 participants were enrolled in the study with, finally, two excluded 
      because of incomplete follow-ups. They had a median age of 81 years; their MNA-SF 
      scores and TUG values deteriorated significantly after a 3-month closure of 
      daycare services (p < 0.05), and after resumption of daycare services the MNA-SF 
      scores and TUG values recovered to near the pre-lockdown levels (p < 0.05). 
      Besides, baseline ADL scores predicted a decline and recovery of TUG and MNA-SF 
      values. Our findings suggest that planning continuous support for older dementia 
      adults is important for daycare facilities during COVID-19 pandemic confinement.
