In clear, nontechnical language, the authors help the reader understand the different types of missing data and their implications for the reliability, validity, and generalizability of a study’s conclusions. They provide practical recommendations for designing studies that decrease the likelihood of missing data, and for addressing this important issue when reporting stud

Similar to tai chi, qigong accumulates and cultivates vital life-force energy in the body for better health, heightened energy, and longevity. Though qigong has been practiced in China for thousands of years, it is only now gaining popularity in the United States as research emerges about qigong’s many health benefits. Studies have found that even short-term practice of qigong has positive effects on blood pressure, stress, bone density, endo
