Waldinger, a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, Zen priest, and Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development.

Teaser: people’s level of satisfaction with their relationships at age 50 was a better predictor of physical health than their cholesterol levels were.

Aging Research in Women takes center stage as Dr. Jennifer Garrison uncovers the overlooked reality that ovaries age faster than any other organ. This rapid aging, occurring at a rate two and a half times quicker than other tissues, significantly impacts women’s health spans. From heightened cardiovascular risks to osteoporosis, the consequences of accelerated ovarian aging are vast, especially post-menopause. Yet, ovarian health research has long suffered from severe underfunding. At the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, Garrison’s work aims to address this deficit by understanding the brain-ovary signaling axis, which she believes is key to promoting healthier aging for women.
