Aging

39
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Complementary Medicine

Background:

  • Older adults with multimorbidity often experience reduced quality of life and high treatment burden.
  • Yoga interventions show potential for improving health and well-being in this demographic.
  • The Gentle Years Yoga program was specifically designed for older adults with chronic conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Gentle Years Yoga program compared to usual care for older adults with multimorbidity.
  • To assess the cost-effectiveness of the Gentle Years Yoga program.

Main Methods:

  • A pragmatic, multisite, individually randomized controlled trial was conducted.
  • Participants aged 65+ with multimorbidity received either Gentle Years Yoga plus usual care or usual care alone.
  • Health-related quality of life (EuroQol-5D) was the primary outcome over 12 months.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant difference in health-related quality of life was observed between groups.
  • No significant differences were found in secondary outcomes, except for pain.
  • The intervention was safe, acceptable, and showed a high probability of being cost-effective.

Conclusions:

  • Gentle Years Yoga did not demonstrate statistically significant improvements in quality of life or other key outcomes.
  • The program is safe and acceptable for older adults with multimorbidity.
  • Further research is needed to identify subgroups who may benefit most and to confirm long-term cost-effectiveness.
