Description
Meenakshi Kaushik tested a twelve-week yoga programme for people with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment in 2025. Thirty adults over 60 at a New Delhi hospital practised for an hour a day, six days a week, and were assessed before and after.
Depression scores on the Geriatric Depression Scale improved from about 8 to about 5 on average. Total cognitive scores on the MoCA rose from about 19 to about 25, with gains across attention, language, naming, recall, abstraction and orientation. Memory subscores stayed at zero. The author concludes that regular yoga meaningfully improved quality of life and thinking in this small group, while larger controlled trials are still needed.
