Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This randomized controlled trial compares an 8-week mindfulness-based intervention against a social contact control for reducing loneliness in Chinese older adults. The study found no significant difference between groups regarding loneliness reduction at 12 months, though both groups improved and the mindfulness group showed reduced depressive symptoms. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in comparative efficacy data for this demographic.
