Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for men and women of all backgrounds, both in the United States, and worldwide. An emerging area of research examines relationships between mindfulness and cardiovascular health, in which attention control, emotion regulation and self-awareness are hypothesized to contribute to self-regulatory pathways that operate on risk factors including health behaviours (eg. smoking, PA, glucose regulation, diet) and biological markers/processes (eg. obesity, blood pressure, glucose levels and blood lipids). Paper 1 is a systematic review assessing the effectiveness of mindfulnessbased interventions on increasing exercise and/or physical activity, physical fitness, and physical capacity related to cardiovascular health. Paper 2 uses multivariable linear regression to explore relationships between dispositional mindfulness and blood lipid profiles among a prospective birth cohort.
