Abstract：With the acceleration of global aging,the burden of chronic diseases among the elderly has been continu‐ously rising.Seeking safe and effective exercise interventions has become an important direction for health management and disease prevention.Baduanjin,an important component of traditional Chinese health qigong,features simple move‐ments,moderate intensity,and integrated mind-body regulation.After synthesizing recent progress on the application of Baduanjin in common geriatric diseases,this review suggests that Baduanjin is a safe and well-accepted mind-body exer‐cise with substantial potential for application in clinical rehabilitation and community-based settings.
