Tulloch A, Bombell H, Dean C, et al. Les exercices basés sur le yoga améliorent la qualité de vie liée à la santé et le bien-être mental chez les personnes âgées: une revue systématique des essais contrôlés randomisés. Age Ageing. 2018;47:537-44.
Review question
In adults 60 years of age and older, what is the effect of yoga-based exercise on health-related quality of life and mental well-being?
Background
Yoga is considered a mind–body exercise. It combines movement and holding poses with focused breathing and meditation. Yoga allows for adaptations based on ability, such as the use of chairs, which means that most people can participate. Practicing yoga has been shown to reduce stress and improve some health conditions.
How the review was done
The researchers did a systematic review, searching for randomized controlled trials that were published up to January 2017.
They found 12 studies, including 752 people.
The key features of the studies were:
- the average age ranged from 60 to 75 years, and 74% were women;
- people did any type of yoga for any duration or any frequency. Yoga sessions were 45 to 90 minutes, with 1 to 3 sessions per week for 8 to 24 weeks. All programs were supervised by a trained yoga therapist or instructor. 7 of the 12 studies included home practice without an instructor; and
- yoga was compared with no intervention, usual care, being added to a waitlist, or education about exercise.
What the researchers found
The studies were considered to be of moderate to high quality.
Compared with not doing yoga:
- yoga improved health-related quality of life by a moderate amount; and
- improved mental well-being by a small amount.
No serious adverse events were reported.
Conclusion
In adults 60 years of age and older, yoga can improve health-related quality of life and mental well-being.
