Reply to comment by Wagamaga in Meditation may protect older people against Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia. Researchers found meditation was superior to non-native language training on changing a global composite score and two of its subscores reflecting attention regulation and socio-emotional capacities by Wagamaga
I'm having a hard time finding from where the title draws it's implied conclusion. The study associated with the headline found showed no positive correlation between decreased dementia and meditation.
Instead it found that..."Results indicate that the 18-month meditation-based intervention did not significantly modify the volume of the ACC and insula in older adults compared with a passive or active control, respectively; the between-group differences did not reach statistical significance for perfusion either. Regarding the main secondary outcomes, there were significant effects of meditation compared with non-native language training on the global composite score reflecting attention regulation, socioemotional, and self-knowledge capacities and two-thirds of its constituent subscores"
Are the secondary outcomes associated the lowered dementia risk?
