Sex
Solution
The answer is B: Education.
Explanation for each option:
A. Wine consumption - The "Nun Study" did not focus on wine consumption as a factor affecting longevity and health. The study primarily examined cognitive and emotional factors.
B. Education - This is the correct answer. The "Nun Study," a longitudinal study of aging and Alzheimer's disease, found that higher levels of education were associated with better cognitive function and greater longevity. The study suggested that education might provide a cognitive reserve that helps protect against the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
C. Religiosity - While the participants in the "Nun Study" were nuns, and thus religiosity was a common factor among them, the study did not specifically identify religiosity as a factor affecting longevity and health.
D. Sex - The study focused on a group of nuns, so all participants were female. Therefore, sex was not a variable that the study examined in relation to differences in longevity and health.
