Comments on the article “Yoga: health benefits. A literature review”

Abstract

This letter comments on methodological aspects of the article “Yoga: health benefits. A literature review.” The author questions the predominant use of secondary sources, the limited number of primary studies specifically addressing yoga and the interpretation of statistically significant findings with small effect sizes. The letter emphasizes that evidence-based medical decisions should rely on rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and that conclusions should be consistent with the level of evidence and the methodology employed.
