Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Nun Study found that linguistic ability, as measured by complexity and density of writing in early adulthood, was a strong predictor of Alzheimer's disease later in life. This suggests that individuals with greater linguistic ability may have a greater cognitive reserve, which could help delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Religiosity, positive affect, and diet were not found to be significant predictors in this study.
