Elderly and families need to be socialized about non farmacology treatment to solve this problem, such as chair based exercise. Chair Based Exercise (CBE) is a structured physical exercise intervention carried out in a sitting position, specifically designed for elderly people with physical limitations, weaknesses, or those at high risk of falling. CBE to address issues caused by cognitive impairment and decreased quality life through skrinning cognitive function and quality of life in the elderly, demonstrated for 60-minute exercise session for 25 elderly individuals.

In kognitif function, majority elderly are in intact cognitive function category and all are in the moderate quality of life category. CBE can have a positive impact on elderly individuals who face issues due to cognitive impairment and decreased quality of life, helping them to maintain their lives and continually respond to their surrounding environment.
