Aging with Grace: The Nun Study and the science of old age: How we can all live Longer, Healthier an - Hardcover
Synopsis
In 1986 Dr. David Snowdon, one of the world’s leading experts on Alzheimer’s disease, embarked on a revolutionary scientific study that would forever change the way we view aging—and ultimately living. Dubbed the “Nun Study” because it involves a unique population of 678 Catholic sisters, this remarkable long-term research project has made headlines worldwide with its provocative discoveries.
Yet Aging with Grace is more than a groundbreaking health and science book. It is the inspiring human story of these remarkable women—ranging in age from 74 to 106—whose dedication to serving others may help all of us live longer and healthier lives.
Totally accessible, with fascinating portraits of the nuns and the scientists who study them, Aging with Grace also offers a wealth of practical findings:
Why building linguistic ability in childhood may protect against Alzheimer’s
Which ordinary foods promote longevity and healthy brain function
Why preventing strokes and depression is key to avoiding Alzheimer’s
What role heredity plays, and why it’s never too late to start an exercise program
How attitude, faith, and community can add years to our lives
A prescription for hope, Aging with Grace shows that old age doesn’t have to mean an inevitable slide into illness and disability; rather it can be a time of promise and productivity, intellectual and spiritual vigor—a time of true grace.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This text presents the story of an ongoing, long-term study of a large group of Catholic nuns who have given Dr David Snowdon access to their medical and archival records and participate each year in comprehensive mental and physical examinations designed to measure the long-term effects of aging. They have also agreed to donate their brains upon death. So far there are 250 brains in the bank making it the world's largest of its kind. Dr Snowdon is one of the world's leading experts on Alzheimer's disease and director of the "Nun Study", a research project involving 678 Catholic sisters ranging in age from 75 to 104 and which has been running for the past 15 years. We get to know many of the nuns personally, and through them discover some of the ground-breaking work which the "Nun Study" has achieved. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001312592
