Change over time in telomere length and telomerase activity in older adults with subjective cognitive decline randomized to one of two simple 12-week mind-body programs: Modifying influence of baseline values

	Change from Baseline to 3 months
Outcome Measures	Mean (SE)	p^*
Telomere length (absolute mean, kb)
≤50th Centile at baseline	3.11 (1.54)	0.05
>50th Centile at baseline	–5.17 (2.96)	0.095
	p for interaction = 0.0004
Telomerase activity (TSR8 copies)
≤50th Centile at baseline	1745.87 (973.33)	0.01
>50th Centile at baseline	318.25 (3181.64)	0.10
	p for interaction = 0.006

Repeated measures ANOVA; 3 months, age-adjusted (p calculated on log-transformed values).
