Effects of yoga intervention on sleep and quality-of-life in elderly: A randomized controlled trial

Quick takeaway

This block-randomized trial in old-age homes found that yoga can improve sleep and quality of life, strengthening the case for low-cost behavioral programming in residential elder care.

Why this matters

Useful because it translates a familiar intervention into a structured and tested later-life program.

Key caution

Attrition was substantial, so maintenance effects and generalizability beyond institutional settings remain uncertain.
