Quality of life evaluated through Quality of Life - Alzheimer's Disease [QoL-AD]
The QoL-AD is used to assess quality of life. This 13-item scale assesses the quality of life in people diagnosed with dementia, gathering information from the patient about the following domains: perceived health, mood, physical condition, interpersonal relationships, hobbies, decision-making skills, and life as a whole. Scores range from 13 to 52, with higher scores indicating better quality of life. It has good psychometric characteristics and its use has been recommended to evaluate psychosocial interventions.

Anxiety symptomatology assessed through the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory [GAI]
It assesses, in several contexts, the severity of anxiety symptoms in the older adults. It consists in 20 dichotomous response items (I agree/disagree) and refers to the subject's feelings in the week prior to the evaluation. One (1) point is assigned to each agree answer and the overall score is obtained by adding the scores of all items. Scores over 10/11 points indicate symptoms of severe anxiety.

Mood assessed through the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 [GDS-15]
The GDS-15 is used to measure mood. It is considered a reliable tool to screen depressive symptoms in older people. With a dichotomous format (yes/no answers), this scale assesses depression in older people. Scores range from 0 to 15, with higher scores indicating more severe depressive symptoms.

Executive functions evaluated throught Frontal Assessment Battery [FAB]
The FAB is used to assess executive function in several subtests: conceptualization, mental flexibility, motor programming, sensitivity to interference, inhibitory control, and environmental autonomy. Scores range from 0 to 18, with higher scores indicating better executive functioning.

Memory function evaluated through Memory Alteration Test [MAT]
The MAT is used to assess memory function. It is an easy and quick instrument that assesses five memory domains: temporal orientation, encoding, semantic memory, free recall, and cued recall. Total scores range from 0 to 50, with higher scores indicating better memory. It has good psychometric properties and is highly sensitive to mild cognitive decline.
