Data came from a cross-sectional study primary informal caregivers 200 mild moderate disease. Caregivers completed EQ-5D-3L to rate their HRQoL generate health utility scores, Dementia Behaviour Disturbance Scale (DBDS) assess degree which PwAD exhibited each 28 behaviours....
<h3>Context:</h3> Canadian men have a higher likelihood of having excess weight or obesity than women, which puts them at significant risk developing preventable chronic diseases. To address this issue, we created the Hockey Fans In Training (Hockey FIT) healthy lifestyle program designed for middle-aged male hockey fans with overweight obesity. <h3>Objective:</h3> parallel to cluster randomised trial FIT, conducted process evaluation acceptability FIT from perspective participants,...
