Abstract in brief

The systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) improve cognitive functions in adults, analyzing data from 56 studies up to January 2020.
Results showed that MBPs have a small but positive effect on overall cognitive performance, especially in executive function and working memory, with better outcomes in nonclinical adults and those over 60.
Limitations include potential biases within studies and some unreliable statistical results, but overall findings support a connection between mindfulness practices and improved cognitive functions.]

On kuitenkin hienoa, että tämänkaltaisia tutkimuksia tehdään myös ikääntyvien aikuisten parissa, sillä erilaiset ennaltaehkäisevät ja hoitavat lääkkeettömät hoidot tulisivat tarpeeseen! https://t.co/ddTLALEcdI 2/2
