Very interesting. Seems like she couldn't apply much of the findings of her research in her lifetime, as she lived only to 84 which is a normal age. RIP to her.

Dr. Elizabeth Barrett-Connor started a long-term study on aging, and kept it going for 47 years, leading to numerous insights on heart disease, diabetes, bone health and menopause. She has died at 84 nyti.ms/2Xhl371
