In the 1960s Loma Linda University, in cooperation with the National Cancer Institute, began to study the health of SDAs. Later, in the 1970s and 1980s, data on the Adventist lifestyle was collected and analyzed under contract with the National Institutes of Health. Adventists, in general, have 50 percent less risk of heart disease, certain types of cancers, strokes, and diabetes.
