“…Through its focus on clear, dispassionate attention to present experience, mindfulness training is thought to foster acceptance, metacognitive awareness, and other processes that help to disengage from cognitive and emotional events that fuel stress and consequent psychological problems (e.g., Baer, 2003;Brown, Ryan, & Creswell, 2007). Finally, the MBSR emphasis on experiential practice in the deployment of attention in meditative contexts appears to be welltolerated by adolescents (e.g., Barnes, Davis, Murzynowski, & Treiber, 2004).…”

Research has shown that mindfulness-based treatment interventions may be effective for a range of mental and physical health disorders in adult populations, but little is known about the effectiveness of such interventions for treating adolescent conditions. The present randomized clinical trial was designed to assess the effect of the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program for adolescents age 14 to 18 years with heterogeneous diagnoses in an outpatient psychiatric facility (intent-to-treat N ϭ 102). Relative to treatment-as-usual control participants, those receiving MBSR self-reported reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and somatic distress, and increased self-esteem and sleep quality. Of clinical significance, the MBSR group showed a higher percentage of diagnostic improvement over the 5-month study period and significant increases in global assessment of functioning scores relative to controls, as rated by condition-naïve clinicians. These results were found in both completer and intent-to-treat samples. The findings provide evidence that MBSR may be a beneficial adjunct to outpatient mental health treatment for adolescents.

“…Аналогичные данные получены как у молодых испытуемых [27], так и у лиц старшего возраста [24]. Кроме того, снижение ЧСС и АД на фоне занятий йогой отмечено как у здоровых волонтеров, так и у лиц, страдающих кардиоваскулярной патологией [28].…”

“…Ultimately, increased understanding of the role of environmental stress-related factors and their underlying physiological mechanisms as potential contributors to health disparities between AAs and EAs will assist in earlier and better identification of youth and young adults at increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes and will aid the development of more personalized primary prevention programs involving lifestyle interventions (e.g., low sodium diets, physical activity programs, stress management programs) in which the role of chronic stress will be taken into account to prevent early onset of these diseases (Barnes et al, 2001;Barnes et al, 2004a;Barnes et al, 2004b), similar to the way this is currently being done in secondary prevention trials (Koertge et al, 2003).…”

The Georgia Cardiovascular Twin Study is a longitudinal study of biobehavioral antecedents of cardiovascular disease in youth and young adults, including around 500 twin pairs with roughly equal numbers of African Americans and European Americans. Focus of study includes the longitudinal change in relative influence of genetic and environmental factors (especially chronic stress) on development of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Approaches include quantitative genetic modeling of phenotypic twin data as well as the examination of the influence of polymorphic variation in candidate genes and their potential interaction with environmental factors on these risk factors. Future work will expand the scope of the study to investigating the impact of chronic stress as measured by indices of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system on preclinical markers of cardiovascular disease, essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes.
