Key result
A 20-week supervised yoga lifestyle intervention reduced resting systolic and diastolic blood pressures compared to standard of care in HIV-infected adults with mild-moderate CVD risk (P=0.04).
Why the study?
Does a 20-week supervised yoga practice improve CVD risk factors, virological/immunological status, or quality of life in HIV-infected adults with mild-moderate CVD risk?

p-value: p=0.04
A 20-week supervised yoga intervention significantly reduced resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure in HIV-infected adults with mild-moderate CVD risk factors compared to standard of care.
Cade et al. (2010) conducted an RCT in HIV infection with mild-moderate cardiovascular disease risk (n=60). Yoga lifestyle intervention vs. Standard of care treatment was evaluated on Resting systolic and diastolic blood pressures (p=0.04). A 20-week supervised yoga lifestyle intervention reduced resting systolic and diastolic blood pressures compared to standard of care in HIV-infected adults with mild-moderate CVD risk (P=0.04).
