The effects of Tai Chi Chuan on the health of Hmong American older adults were investigated. The Tai Chi Chuan Program Inventory was used as a pre‐test and post‐test. Significant improvements were found in Tai Chi Chuan knowledge, attitudes, and behavior, as well as in resting blood pressure, stress level, and shoulder and knee flexibility. These results provide further documentation of Tai Chi Chuan's beneficial health effects.
