Recorded summary

A blood gene-expression dataset from 60 older adults with mild cognitive impairment compares mindful-awareness practice with health education over nine months. It provides a reusable resource for analysing intervention-associated molecular patterns.

Recorded limitations

This is a data publication, not independent proof of a successful clinical or molecular effect. Participant overlap with associated trial reports must be retained in any synthesis.

Evidence and provenance

Chapter Trust Factor uses a minimum of three distinct qualifying studies. Publication records retain their own evidence and assessment.
