The secret to living longer in "Blue Zones"


https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/9/26/the-secret-of-blue-zones-where-people-reach-100-fake-data-says-academic

 

For a quarter-century, researchers and the general public have sought to understand why people in so-called "Blue Zones" live to 100 at far greater rates than anywhere else.

Saul Newman, a researcher at the University College London (UCL), believes he has the answer: actually, they don't.

Rather than lifestyle factors such as diet or social connections, he says, the apparent longevity of people in five regions -- Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California -- can be explained by pension fraud, clerical errors, and a lack of reliable birth and death records.

 The way I read it makes more sense. I thought the article was avoiding the use of "he" or "she" in those last words (a sentence?).
