Effectiveness of a fitness- and socialization-based intervention for couples living with young-onset dementia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
There is a dearth of age- and life stage-appropriate supports available to spousal couples living with young-onset dementia (YOD; dementia that develops under 65). The purpose of this study was to design, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a novel, social worker-led group fitness- and socialization-based support program for individuals with YOD and their spousal caregivers. Caregivers’ program experiences were explored during a focus group, supplemented with quantitative survey data. Six YOD couples participated in the program, five of which attended the focus group. Three themes were generated: Navigating Life with YOD, Perceived Effectiveness of the Program on Psychosocial Outcomes, and Program Feedback and Scaling Considerations. The results suggest that this low-cost, feasible, and tailored intervention was valued by YOD couples, as it enabled them to participate in a meaningful fitness and socialization activity together to promote self-care, improve psychosocial outcomes, and connect with others facing similar experiences.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
