Neurologist and professor at the University of California Irvine Dr Claudia Kawas is searching for the secrets to living a longer and healthier life. Kawas and her team have been running a major study of ageing California residents for more than two decades. More than 2000 people in their nineties have enrolled in her study, "Ninety Plus". Those taking part in the "Ninety Plus" study are not representative of the general US population, she says. Another study happening in Northern California, "Life after Ninety", covers the same age-group and includes more Blacks, Asians and Latinos.
