[Effects of Lifestyle Redesign on older adults: A systematic review].

This study aimed to synthetize the clinical effects and cost-effectiveness of the LR as well as to verify the applicability of the results in a community-based setting in Quebec. METHOD.: A systematic review of the literature was conducted, followed by a focus group with four occupational therapists. FINDINGS.: Considered as cost-effective (under $50,000 in quality-adjusted life-years), the LR offers benefits for both mental and physical health. According to occupational therapists, the LR is clearly relevant for their practice but involves some challenges. IMPLICATIONS.: The LR is an occupational therapy intervention with promising clinical effects and cost-effectiveness for older adults living in the community.
