Mindfulness to Improve Elders' Immune and Health Status
The purpose of the study is to better understand effects of the Mindfulness-Based Stress-Reduction (MBSR) program on the physical and emotional health and well-being of adults ages 65 and older.
The effects MBSR may have on the immune system is investigated, including how these effects relate to factors such as perceived health, psychological well-being, age, personality, and mood.

Description détaillée
This study investigates the effects of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on immune responses to multiple concentrations of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) in elderly volunteers. The research design thus capitalizes on the antibody response to a novel, benign antigen to which our subjects will be immunologically naïve. The use of a range of antigen concentrations will provide a sensitive indicator for the effects of intervention.
The Aims of the study are the following:
- To examine the effects of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on immunological outcomes, perceived health, and psychological well-being in a sample of seniors 65 years of age and older.
- To examine whether treatment effects are moderated by age, personality traits, physical health status, or depression.
- To examine the effects of behavioral, psychological, and physiological mediators of immune outcome.

Comparateur actif: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Participation in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program following the initial assessment period, just prior to the start of the immunological measures.
|
Le programme standardisé de réduction du stress basé sur la pleine conscience (MBSR) est le principal outil de formation utilisé pour améliorer la pleine conscience.
Le programme MBSR, d'une durée de huit semaines, est conçu pour apprendre aux sujets à développer leurs ressources intérieures au service d'une meilleure prise en charge d'eux-mêmes.
La formation MBSR comprend l'apprentissage et le perfectionnement d'une gamme de compétences visant à accroître la relaxation et la prise de conscience des expériences physiques et des sensations liées aux symptômes physiques, aux émotions et aux pensées.
Un accent particulier est mis sur le mouvement, la méditation et la respiration.

Description de la mesure |
Délai |
|---|---|---|
|
IgG Anti-KLH Antibody Response Post-treatment
Délai: Immediate post-treatment (time 2)
|
Immune function--specifically, antibody response to a novel, benign antigen (an antigen to which subjects are immunologically naïve); in this case, keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).
|
Immediate post-treatment (time 2)
|
|
Trail Making Test
Délai: immediate post-treatment (Time 2)
|
The Trail Making Test is a commonly used neuropsychological test of visual attention and task-switching.
In two timed tasks, subjects are asked to first connect numbers (Test A), then alternating numbers and letters (Test B), in sequential order as quickly as possible.
Completion times, relating to cognitive processing speed and executive function (respectively), may be utilized individually, and as a difference (B-A) or ratio (B/A) score.
The Trails B/A ratio was used as an index of improvement in executive control throughout the trial, with lower scores indicating better performance.
|
immediate post-treatment (Time 2)
|
|
Electroencephalography Measurement
Délai: post-treatment (time 2)
|
Measurement of alpha asymmetry at the F3/4 (frontal) electrode.
Left prefrontal activation has been associated with positive affect, and with higher levels of antibody responses and natural killer cell cytotoxicity.
