The Effect of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on Depression Cognition and Immunity in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Pilot Feasibility Study

Mindfulness-based programs have shown a promising effect on several health factors associated with increased risk of dementia and the conversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia such as depression, stress, cognitive decline, immune system and brain structural and functional changes. Studies on mindfulness in MCI subjects are sparse and frequently lack control intervention groups.
