Project Description

Summary: The “Meditation or Exercise to Prevent Respiratory Infection (MEPARI-2)” trial is a longitudinal study of community dwelling adults (30-69 years old) from the greater Madison, Wisconsin area in the United States. The study was conducted from August 2012 through July 2017. Participants were recruited in yearly cohorts and followed for about nine months. MEPARI-2 combines longitudinal survey data on participant’s social, economic, psychological and physical well-being with contextual data on whether training in mindfulness meditation or exercise can lead to reductions in acute respiratory infections (ARI).
