'Father of Preventive Cardiology' turns 100

Dr. Jeremiah Stamler, one of the founding fathers of cardiovascular epidemiology and prevention, will turn 100 in the fall of 2019.

Having helped put risk factors, such as cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and obesity, on the map in the '70s, the founding chief of the department of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is one of two people who have likely had the most influence on our understanding of diet and cardiovascular health.
