Improving cognitive function in older adults through mind-body Qigong exercise at senior daycare centers: The role of sleep as a moderator and mediator
Qigong improved cognition in older Chinese, particularly those with sleep problems prior to the intervention. Sleep quality changes played a mediating role, especially in individuals with less exercise. Results shed light on future interventions in identifying targeted mediating/moderating factors of Qigong.
