Note:

^aResident dementia stage was determined using the Functional Assessment Staging in Alzheimer’s Disease (FAST);

^bFAST score 6 to <7;

^cFAST score ≥ 7;

^dProportion of food intakes (solid or liquid) initiated by resident;

^eBetween 25% and 75% of food intakes initiated by resident;

^f0 – 25% of food intakes initiated by resident;

^g75% – 100%% of food intakes initiated by resident;

^hb = unstandardized regression coefficient estimate;

ⁱ95% CI = 95% confidence interval;

^jp > |t| = p-values for a t-test of significance of an effect or a level of an effect.
