Research Abstract |
For the purpose of the wandering of elderly people with dementia determining effect caused by the weather, caregivers observed 9 seasons by the behavior of16 elderly people whom wandering was seen in for by two weeks in 1 season until spring in 2013 from a fall in 2010. Persistent persistence walks increased by a rise in mean temperature for Alzheimer's disease, and the behavior to establish a mark showed a tendency to increase if the mean wind velocity was weak. The possibility that the wandering-related behavior was affected by the weather such as the meantemperature was suggested.
