The GYYB is a one-hour program containing gentle physical Yoga postures that participants could practice sitting on a chair for 30 minutes. These exercises are designed based on improving the overall flexibility, bodily control and mindfulness in movements. Following the gentle yoga postures, the participants will perform Yogic breathing exercises for 30 minutes. These exercises are known to promote relaxation, mood, pain and anxiety scores that are highly relevant to the target population and are reported to stimulate measurable biomarker changes in the saliva. During the in-person session the Yoga instructor will explain the GYYB program to participants in the GYYB group each exercise and their perceived benefits.

Change in mean balance scores measured with the Berg Balance Scale, which includes 14 tests (e.g., standing on one leg, stepping over obstacles). Each task is worth 0-2 points and points are summed for a total score. Higher scores indicate better balance and lower scores indicate fall risk. Scores range from 0 - 56. 1 - 20 indicates a person will likely need assistance of a wheelchair to move around safety due to major limitations/poor balance noted during the assessment of the tasks; 21 - 40 indicates a person will need some type of walking assistance such as a cane or walker due to problems or limitations with some of the movement on the scale; 41 - 56 indicates a person is considered independent and able to move around safely without assistance and is at low risk for falling.

Change in mean number of times an individual comes to a full standing position from the seated position when 30 seconds have elapsed measured with the 30-Second (s) Chair Test to assess lower body strength. Higher numbers indicate better lower body strength. Below average sit-to-stand scores per age groups are as follows: men 60-64 <14, women < 12; men 65-69 <12, women <11; men 70-74 <12; women <10; men 75-79 <11, women <10; men 81-84 <10, women <9; men 85-89 <8, women <8; men 90-94 <7, women <4. Unfortunately we were unable to collect these data due to COVID restrictions. We were unable to make home visits or have participants come into our research clinic to assess their sit-to-stand ability because we were not permitted to have patient contact.

Change in mean walking distance in feet over a timed two-minute period measured with the Two-Minute Walk Test to assess walking ability.

Change in mean depression T-score measured with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System PROMIS Depression short form 8a, 8 individual items allow for different responses which are scored separately to provide specific information about self-reported negative mood (sadness, guilt), view of self (self-criticism, worthlessness), and social cognition (loneliness, interpersonal alienation) as well as decreased positive affect and engagement (loss of interest, meaning, and purpose). The lowest possible raw score is 8; the highest possible raw score is 40. Raw summed scores are converted to T-score values that are standardized such that 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and a standard deviation of 10 points. A higher T-score represents more of the concept being measured, meaning the higher above 50 suggests an individual has greater depressive symptoms compared to the general population.

Change in mean self efficacy score measured with the Common Data Repository For Nursing Science (cdRNS) National Institute of Nursing Research, Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease questionnaire which contains 6-items that cover several domains that are common across many chronic diseases including symptom control, role function, emotional functioning and communicating with physicians. Scores range from 1 (not at all confident) to 10 (totally confident). A sum score is reported. Higher score indicate higher self efficacy or confidence in managing one's disease.

Steps were measured with an actigraph and reported as mean numbers of steps taken per week during the 12-week study period. The mean number of steps per week for the participants who completed the study in each arm is reported for the 12-week final study measurement period. Full range of steps taken is reported indicating minimum and maximum steps taken at the end of study 12-week period for the participants who completed all 12 weeks of the study.

Change in mean anxiety status T-score measured with PROMIS Anxiety short form 6a, 6 individual items allow for different responses which are scored separately to provide specific information about self-reported fear (fearfulness, panic), anxious misery (worry, dread), hyperarousal (tension, nervousness, restlessness), and somatic symptoms related to arousal (racing heart, dizziness). The lowest possible raw score is 6; the highest possible raw score is 30. Raw summed scores are converted to T-score values that are standardized such that 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and a standard deviation of 10 points. A higher T-score represents more of the concept being measured, meaning the higher above 50 suggests an individual has greater anxiety symptoms compared to the general population. Scores <55 within normal limits, 55-60 mild, 61-70 moderate, >70 severe anxiety.

Change in mean health status score measured with PROMIS Global Health Scale, 10 individual items allow for different responses which are scored separately to provide specific information about perceptions of physical function, pain, fatigue, emotional distress, social health and general perceptions of health. The lowest possible raw score is 4; the highest possible raw score is 20. Raw summed scores are converted to T-score values that are standardized such that 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and a standard deviation of 10 points. A higher T-score represents more of the concept being measured, meaning the higher above 50 the better or more healthy the individual is compared to the general population. Scores 20-35 = poor, 36-42 fair, 43-50 good, 51-57 very good, >58 excellent health status.

Change in mean functional health T-score measured with PROMIS Physical Function Scale short form 8b, 8 individual items allow for different responses which are scored separately to provide specific information about self-reported current capability rather than actual performance of physical activities. Raw summed scores are converted to T-score values that are standardized such that 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and a standard deviation of 10 points. A higher T-score represents more of the concept being measured, meaning the higher above 50 the better function the individual has compared to the general population. Scores >55 within normal limits, 56-40 mild, 41-30 moderate, <30 severe physical functional impairment (worse health).

Change in mean sleep disturbance score measured with PROMIS Sleep Disturbance short form 6a, 6 individual items allow for different responses which are scored separately to provide specific information about self-reported perceptions of sleep quality, sleep depth, and restoration associated with sleep. The lowest possible raw score is 6; the highest possible raw score is 30. Raw summed scores are converted to T-score values that are standardized such that 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and a standard deviation of 10 points. A higher T-score represents more of the concept being measured, meaning the higher above 50 the worse or the greater the individual's sleep is disturbed compared to individuals with chronic conditions. Scores <55 within normal limits, 55-60 mild, 61-70 moderate, >70 severe sleep disturbance.

Change in mean depression score measured with PROMIS Depression short form 8a, 8 individual items allow for different responses which are scored separately to provide specific information about self-reported negative mood (sadness, guilt), view of self (self-criticism, worthlessness), and social cognition (loneliness, interpersonal alienation) as well as decreased positive affect and engagement (loss of interest, meaning, and purpose). The lowest possible raw score is 8; the highest possible raw score is 40. Raw summed scores are converted to T-score values that are standardized such that 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and a standard deviation of 10 points. A higher T-score represents more of the concept being measured, meaning the higher above 50 suggests an individual has greater depressive symptoms compared to the general population. Scores <55 within normal limits, 55-60 mild, 61-70 moderate, >70 severe depression.

Change in mean depression score measured with the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale (CES-D), 20 items - that asks caregivers to rate how often over the past week they experienced symptoms associated with depression, such as restless sleep, poor appetite, and feeling lonely. Response options range from 0 to 3 for each item (0 = Rarely or None of the Time, 1 = Some or Little of the Time, 2 = Moderately or Much of the time, 3 = Most or Almost All the Time). Scores range from 0 to 60, with high scores indicating greater depressive symptoms. The cutoff scores (e.g., 16 or greater) identify individuals at risk for clinical depression.

Change in mean fatigue score measured with the PROMIS Fatigue short form 6a, 6 items that assess a range of self-reported symptoms, from mild subjective feelings of tiredness to an overwhelming, debilitating, and sustained sense of exhaustion that likely decreases one's ability to execute daily activities and function normally in family or social roles. The lowest possible raw score is 6; the highest possible raw score is 30. Raw summed scores are converted to T-score values that are standardized such that 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and a standard deviation of 10 points. A higher T-score represents more of the concept being measured, meaning the higher above 50 the worse the fatigue the individual has compared to the general population. Scores <55 within normal limits, 55-60 mild, 61-70 moderate, >70 severe fatigue].

Change in mean loneliness score measured with the University of California Los Angeles UCLA Loneliness Scale which contains 20 items designed to measure one's subjective feelings of loneliness and social isolation. Participants rate each item as either O ("I often feel this way"), S ("I sometimes feel this way"), R ("I rarely feel this way"), N ("I never feel this way"): O's = 3, all S's = 2, all R's = 1, and all N's = 0. Higher scores indicate higher loneliness. Cut-off score of 20 or > indicates loneliness.

Change in mean social support scores measured with the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey Instrument (MOS-SS) contains 19 items with four separate social support subscales and an overall functional social support index. To obtain a score for each subscale, calculate the average of the scores for each item in the subscale. To obtain an overall support index, the average of (1) the scores for all 18 items included in the four subscales, and (2) the score for the one additional item (see last item in the survey) is calculated. Scale scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale and compared to published means reported in Sherbourne, C.D., and Stewart, A.L., "The MOS Social Support Survey,"Social Science and Medicine, 32(6):705-714, 1991. A higher score for an individual scale or for the overall support index indicates more support. Scores suggest poor,(less than 60) fair (60-79) and good social support (more than 80).

Change in mean caregiver burden measured with Zarit Burden Scale (ZBI-12) - 12 items provide a summation score: (0 to 4 points per item, total score range 0 to 48). 0 - 10: no to mild burden; 11 - 20: mild to moderate burden; > 20 high burden.

Change in mean quality of life (QOL) scores measured with the European Quality of Life Five Dimensions (EQ-5D) compromises 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, and how good/bad one's health with visual analog scale (VAS)) from 0 worst to 100 best health you can imagine) and divided into 3 levels of perceived problems. An EQ-5D summary index is derived by applying a formula that attaches values/weights to each level per dimension. The index is calculated by deducting the appropriate weights from 1, the value for full health and presented as an averaged score. Higher values (scores of 3) indicate extreme pain, depression/anxiety, inability to perform usual activities, unable to wash or dress self, or confined to bed. High VAS scores indicate good perceived health. There are no established/published cut-off scores/values to determine excellent, good, fair or poor QOL levels. Population means are ~70, higher values indicate higher QOL.

Change in mean relationship quality score measured with the Mutuality Scale, a 15-item instrument that measures mutuality (love, shared pleasurable activities, shared values, and reciprocity) from the caregiver perspective. Examples of items are: "How close do you feel to the person you care for?" or "How much do you confide in the person you care for?". Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale from 0 (not at all), 1 (a little), 2 (some), 3 (quite a bit) to 4 (a great deal). The total scale score, a mean of all item scores, ranges from 0 to 4 (total 0 - 60): higher scores means greater mutuality. There are no established cut-off scores or ranges and are reported in means: 0 = not at all, 1 = a little, 2 = some, 3 = quite a bit, 4 = a great deal.

Change in mean quality of life score measured with the Life-Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD), a 13-item questionnaire designed to be administered via interview to persons with dementia (if able to answer) or by a caregiver. Points are assigned to each item as follows: poor = 1, fair = 2, good = 3, excellent = 4. The total score is the sum of all 13 items. Higher scores indicated higher quality of life. Maximum score is 52. There is no cut-off scores or values/ranges for excellent, good, fair or poor QOL.

Change in mean score on functional activities of daily living measured with the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Questionnaire which is completed by the caregiver and consists of 46 items for 3 domains: initiation, planning and organization, and performance. The total score, has a range of 0 to 100. The denominator represents the score that would have been obtained if the most severe level of impairment had been indicated for all items rated (excluding those rated ''9''). The numerator represents the total of the actual ratings for all items rated (excluding those rated ''9''). The resultant score represents the level of severity of impairment in ADL. The amount of functional impairment is then rated as ''none to mild'' (0-33),''moderate'' (34-66%), or ''severe'' (.66%). Functional impairment scores are calculated for each subscale individually and for the total of all items. We reported the difference in the total score from baseline to 12-week end of study.

Change in mean minutes (mean difference between baseline and 12 weeks end of study) during the last 7 days engaged in physical activity measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for the Elderly (IPAQ-Short Form) which is comprised of 4 items (sitting, walking, moderate physical activity, vigorous physical activity). For full range (-) indicates fewer mean minutes taken between baseline and 12 weeks.

Change in mean laboratory value of cortisol which is an indicator of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity which represents the dominance of the sympathetic nervous system, a measure of psychosomatic stress level. Cortisol reference values are: 3.7-9.5 ng/mL (morning), 1.2-3.0 ng/mL (noon), 0.6-1.9 ng/mL (evening), 0.4-1.0 ng/mL (bedtime). Higher values have been associated with higher stress.

Change in mean laboratory values of 1,5-Anhydroglucitol (AG) which is a biomarker for glycemic metabolism and is reduced under stressful circumstances. The normal reference value for 1,5 AG is ≥ 14.0 μg/ml.

Using study data logs, appropriate use of the interventions was measured by the number of participants who adhered to the protocol for engaging in Arm 1 Otago, Arm 2 Otago + Gentle yoga/yogic breathing, Arm 3 behavioral activation (Older adults) or Arm 4 Gentle yoga/yogic breathing (Caregivers). Adherence was defined as the number of participants (rounded up) who completed the study and were at least 80% adherent to the study protocol for frequency of engaging in the assigned Arm during the 12-week study period.

This condition will incorporate OEP and GYYB as above and will also include behavioral activation to address motivation and affect. Behavioral Activation incorporates daily planners and worksheets to identify and rate reinforcing behaviors and is often used in conjunction with other interventions because components of these interventions are easily incorporated into the daily planner based activities. Each participant outlines general values and specific behaviors that 'demonstrate' each value, compiling a list of the latter. This list is then used to generate 10 to 20 highly defined values-based, reinforcing activities. Next, this list is combined with the activities outlines in Otago and GYYB and this master list is used to schedule these values-based activities for the next two days.
