Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) reduces chronic allostatic response and increases immuno-competence in mentally able nursing home residents
FY 2009-10
Summary
Nursing home residents who undertake stress reduction training will experience greater immuno-competence than those of a related control group. This will be measured by self-report, stress hormone levels, and susceptibility to disease. Such research is very important because, with age, humans lose the ability to turn off their stress systems which negatively effects immune systems already lagging from years of use.
