Summary

This study tested whether an 8-week mindfulness program could reduce anxiety in 168 older adults who have memory concerns but normal cognitive test scores. Participants were randomly assigned to either mindfulness training or a health education program. The goal was to see if mindfulness could improve mental health and potentially slow future cognitive decline.
