Insight into Determinants of
Exceptional Aging and Longevity

Are you

Older than 80?

Mentally sharp?
In great health?
You may be an exceptional ager!

The Insight into Determinants of
Exceptional Aging and Longevity
study, or IDEAL, is looking for
people age 80 and older who are
exceptionally healthy to take part
in a special project to learn more
about healthy aging. IDEAL is
part of the Baltimore Longitudinal
Study of Aging (BLSA).

Aging Exceptionally?

The BLSA is the longest
running study of human aging.
It is conducted by the National
Institute on Aging of the National
Institutes of Health. If you qualify
to be in IDEAL, every year you
will receive a complete physical
exam, including tests of strength,
stamina, and mental sharpness.
This will help us observe the
aging process and identify the
secrets of aging well.

If you or someone you know may be an IDEAL
candidate, you can get more information by
contacting 1-800-225-BLSA (2572).
