On 21 February, some members of the European Working Group of People with Dementia (EWGPWD), their supporters, and the European Dementia Carers Working Group (EDCWG) attended an online consultation. The consultation was also attended by Nicola Veronese (University of Palermo, Italy), Montserrat Montes de Oca Ibarra (University of Alberta, Canada), Soraya Moradi-Bachiller (Public Involvement Officer, Alzheimer Europe), and facilitated by Ana Diaz (Public Involvement Lead, Alzheimer Europe). During the meeting, the attendees provided their feedback on three infographics developed to inform about the effects that physical activity and exercise can have in delaying the onset and progression of Mild Cognitive Impairment and dementia due to different neurodegenerative diseases. All the attendees who participated provided insightful feedback on the design and content of the infographics, which will help the research team develop a new and improved version.
