In 1986, David Snowdon, then at the University of Minnesota and later at the University of Kentucky, began a longitudinal study of the School Sisters of Notre Dame. The study, centered on Alzheimer's disease and aging in general, has come to be known as "The Nun Study"
Go to www.nunstudy.org for more information. While the whole website has a wealth of information on the study, the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section contains a good, short synopsis.
