This study examined the effect of a multicomponent garden use intervention—incorporating physical, social, and organizational environmental components—on garden use, daily life, and quality of life (QoL) of people living with dementia in a Dutch nursing home. Using the Maastricht Electronic Daily Life Observation Tool and QUALIDEM, outcomes were observed at baseline, 1 year (post), and 2 years (follow-up). Garden use slightly increased post-inter…

Expressions of self-ageism in four European countries
Self-ageism has a significant negative impact on older people's ageing experiences and health outcomes.

We explore how pred…
