  The TM-Sidhi program was found to result in long-term changes in pituitary hormone levels with evidence of both increased sensitivity and stability in endocrine control systems.

MERU Research Institute, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, England, and Department of Biology, University of York, Yorkshire, England, 1982.

  Participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program were found to have an average biological age which was 7.2 years younger than their average chronological age of 31.8 years. Length of time practicing the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program was found to be correlated with reduction in biological age.

  Toomey, M.; Chalmers, R.; and Clements, G. The Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme and reversal of the ageing process: A longitudinal study. MERU Research Institute, Mentmore, Buckinghamshire, England, 1983.

  Longitudinal reductions in biological age were observed in participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program. Over an eighteen-month period, average biological age decreased from 7.5 years younger than chronological age to 10.6 years younger. Duration of practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program was correlated with the degree to which both biological and functional ages were younger than chronological age.
