The group-by-age interaction was highly significant ( p = 0.003), altogether suggesting less age-related gray matter decline in meditators than in controls.

Interestingly, however, while the aforementioned study (Pagnoni and Cekic, 2007 ) exposed a marginally significant negative correlation in the control group ( r = −0.54) and a non-significant positive correlation in the meditation group ( r = 0.006), our study revealed significant negative correlations between age and gray matter both in controls ( r = −0.77) and in meditators ( r = −0.58).
