Interventions/Control_1

Community-dwelling adults aged >= 60 years will participate in an 8-week lifestyle-integrated mindfulness program.
- Face-to-face sessions: once weekly, 60 minutes x 8 sessions. Guided practices include breathing meditation, walking meditation, mindful eating, body scan, daily-life applications, and self-compassion. Each session includes goal setting for home practice.
- Home practice support (ICT): 8 daily notifications (07:30, 09:30, 11:30, 13:30, 15:30, 17:30, 19:30, 21:30) with 5-10 min guided videos via LINE. A daily 20:00 questionnaire collects practice status, content, and concentration (1-5). URL clicks are recorded as an auxiliary adherence indicator.

Interventions/Control_2

Same content as Intervention 1, except that home practice support (ICT) consists of a single daily notification at 07:30. All other components are identical.

Interventions/Control_3

Same content as Intervention 1, except that home practice support (ICT) consists of a single notification only on day 1 at 07:30. No further notifications are sent. All other components are identical.
