Discovering the causes of cancer and the means of prevention
NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study
The NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study was developed at NCI to improve our understanding of the relationship between diet and health. The study was conducted among members of the AARP aged 50-71 years in areas of the U.S. A total of 500,000 people filled out and returned the initial study questionnaire containing questions on diet and lifestyle, making it the largest study of diet and health ever conducted. Follow-up questionnaires on topics such as risk factors are mailed out periodically.
