Nurses' Health Study

The Nurses' Health Study is a long-term research project that began in 1976, involving over 120,000 registered nurses in the United States. Its primary goal is to investigate how diet, lifestyle, and health factors affect women's health over time. Participants complete regular surveys about their health, habits, and medical history. The findings have yielded important insights into chronic diseases, cancer, cardiovascular health, and more, influencing public health recommendations and policies. The study continues to provide valuable data for understanding health trends and improving women's health outcomes.
