Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the impact of mind-body exercise interventions on depression and anxiety were included in the analysis. All experimental groups engaged only in mind-body exercise, and control groups received no intervention. Meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and assessment of publication bias were performed using Stata 17.0 software. Evidence quality was assessed using the GRADE tool.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 15 studies that encompassed 1,351 participants were included in this review.

Five subgroup variables were examined in this study: exercise type, session duration (minutes), intervention period (weeks), frequency (sessions per week), and baseline depression severity. In the analysis of depression outcomes, exercise type, session duration, frequency, and baseline depression severity were identified as significant moderators. The most effective intervention characteristics for reducing depressive symptoms were: Qigong as the exercise type, sessions lasting 31\u201360 min, a frequency of three sessions per week, an intervention period of 9\u201312 weeks, and high baseline levels of depression. In contrast, none of these variables were found to be significant moderators in the analysis of anxiety outcomes. However, the most effective intervention characteristics for alleviating anxiety symptoms were tai chi as the exercise type, sessions lasting 31\u201360 min, a frequency of four or more sessions per week, an intervention period of 8 weeks or less, and normal baseline anxiety levels.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was robust evidence that mind-body exercise significantly reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Other<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study adhered to PRISMA guidelines to ensure rigorous transparency and methodological accuracy.
