A new research study, conducted by the Stanford Prevention Research Center and funded through a $10 million unrestricted gift from Amway, will analyze how changes in diet and lifestyle can impact long-term wellness and contribute to healthy aging.

Funded through a gift from the Amway Nutrilite Health Institute Wellness Fund, the study (dubbed WELL) aims to identify lifestyle and environmental factors that may help people maintain their health and wellness as they age. WELL will be designed, conducted, and analyzed by scientists at Stanford Prevention Research Center and will be entirely under the control of Stanford University with no involvement by Amway in these processes so as to safeguard investigative independence, according to Amway.

Research is expected to begin in 2015 and will continue for at least five years. Initially, the study will evaluate factors such as diet and lifestyle that may influence metabolic health and visual signs of aging or cognitive functions, among other wellness components.
