Yoga-based lifestyle intervention for healthy ageing in older adults: a two-armed, waitlist randomized controlled trial with multiple primary outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Yoga-based clinical research has shown considerable promise in varied ageing-related health outcomes in older adults. However, robust frameworks have yet to be used in intervention research to endorse yoga as a healthy ageing intervention to test the multidimensional construct of healthy ageing. This was an assessor-masked, randomized controlled trial conducted among 258 sedentary, community-dwelling older adults aged 60-80 years, randomly allocated to 26-week yoga-based intervention (YBI) (n = 132) or waitlist control (WLC) (n = 126). The effectiveness of YBI was assessed through two separate global statistical tests, generalized estimating equations and rank sum-based test, against a comprehensive healthy aging panel comprised of ten markers representing the domains of physiological and
