Nowadays, old people represents an important population sector, which is constantly growing. The new scientific advances have supposed a growth on the life length and, from this change, new problems need to be solved. Among the problems related to old people there are affective, like anxiety or depression, and the cognitive ones, like the attention and executive functions deterioration. The present study aims to analyse the effects of a well-known third generation therapy over this population: the meditation based on Mindfulness. Given that scientific evidence has shown good outcomes on the application of this kind of programs for the aforementioned variables, this research aims to apply an 8 weeks structured program with group and individual daily practices for a group of institutionalized old people. The outcomes were compared with a control group of similar characteristics. Even though improvement on all the variables are shown, no significant changes were found with the application of the program on the anxiety and depression symptoms. However, outcomes supporting the usefulness of the program to improve attention, processing speed and executive functions (planning and inhibition) were found. Therefore, future research is proposed related to the potential of this programs as a cognitive impairment preventing method on old people of 80 years.
