CAN MINDFULNESS BEAT ALZHEIMER ’ S DISEASE ? Author :
The purpose of this paper is to identify to what extent the development of Alzheimer’s disease can be delayed or prevented through the use of mindfulness-based interventions. Alzheimer’s disease (AD)…
The Promise of Mindfulness-Based Inter- ventions as Therapies to Prevent Cognitive Decline
TLDR
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) may provide reliable measures of cerebral gene expression and provide the foundation for exploring the interaction between MBI and AD.
Mindfulness and cognitive training interventions in mild cognitive impairment: impact on cognition and mood.
Mindfulness mechanisms and psychological effects for aMCI patients: A comparison with psychoeducation.
Mindfulness and meditation: treating cognitive impairment and reducing stress in dementia
TLDR
It is explored how the use of meditation as a behavioural intervention can reduce stress and enhance cognition, which in turn ameliorates some dementia symptoms, as well as increases in functional connectivity, percent volume brain change and cerebral blood flow in areas of the cortex.
Non-pharmacological Approaches Based on Mind-Body Medicine to Enhancement of Cognitive and Brain Reserve in Humans
TLDR
The implications of CR and BR for clinical interventions based on mind-body medicine (in particular meditation), as possible approaches aimed at potentiating individuals’ reserve in the conditions of healthy aging, AD, MS, and PD are discussed.
Mindfulness Awareness Practice (MAP) to Prevent Dementia in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment: Protocol of a Randomized Controlled Trial and Implementation Outcomes

  • 2021
TLDR
This is the first randomized controlled trial to systematically investigate the effects of a mindfulness intervention in improving cognitive functions and various biomarkers in community-dwelling older adults diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Into the Moment: Does Mindfulness Affect Biological Pathways in Multiple Sclerosis?
TLDR
It is proposed to include immunological and/or neuroimaging biomarkers as standard outcome measures in future research dedicated to mindfulness and MS to help explain the clinical improvements seen in fatigue and depression.
A Systematic Review of Mindfulness-Based Interventions for Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Dementia and Caregivers
TLDR
Results indicated that the magnitude of post-treatment effects of MBIs are in the medium to large range for psychosocial outcomes, and in the small to medium range for cognitive functioning; however, treatment effects on dementia biomarkers were mixed, ranging from small to large, depending on the outcome measure.
Mindfulness and psychoeducation to manage stress in amnestic mild cognitive impairment: A pilot study
TLDR
This pilot study supports the potential of MBI and PBI to reduce stress at the physiological and psychological level, respectively, and increase coping strategies in older adults at risk for AD.

TLDR
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a standardized mindfulness meditation/yoga intervention, may decrease stress/cortisol, improve well-being, and increase hippocampal gray matter density in healthy adults.

Neuropsychiatric Manifestations in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review of the Literature
TLDR
The behavioral changes observed in MCI are similar to those of AD and may help identify the subgroup of MCI patients with prodromal AD, and large prospective longitudinal studies would greatly contribute to the understanding of the epidemiology, diagnostic and prognostic value of the neuropsychiatric features inMCI.
Psychological distress and risk for dementia
TLDR
Results presented in this review show that psychological distress and depressive, anxious, and apathetic symptoms can be present in MCI and may predict progression to dementia.
Proneness to psychological distress is associated with risk of Alzheimer’s disease
TLDR
Proneness to experience psychological distress is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, an effect independent of AD pathologic markers such as cortical plaques and tangles.
Vulnerability to stress, anxiety, and development of dementia in old age.
TLDR
Neuroticism's association with late-life dementia mainly reflects vulnerability to stress and anxiety and their correlation with decline in the ability to process and retain new information.
