Wallace, R. K.; Dillbeck, M.; Jacobe, E.; and Harrington, B. The effects of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Program on the aging process. International Journal of Neuroscience 16: 53–58, 1982.
The Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program was found to reverse the aging process. The mean biological age of short-term meditators was found to be 5 years younger, and that of long-term meditators 12 years younger, than expected from population norms. A correlation was found between length of time practicing the Transcendental Meditation program and younger biological age.
