Horizon looks at how to stay healthy, active and live long (Living to 101). A scientific review on the logevity hotspots of the planet. Genes vs. attitude, what defines health and ultimately a long life (Part 5 of 5).

The delicate relationships of communities with their environment both in the past and the present play an integral role in the health and life expectancy of their populations.

Example of Okinawans now living in Hawaii, who are at higher risk of developing age related diseases, due to having adopted lifestyles unsuited to their evolved genetic traits. This trend is even filtering back into the heart of Okinawan society, endangering its status of longevity and the younger population itself.

Long-lived societies wordwide reveal a fine balance between cultural habits, lifestyle and carefully evolved genetic trends that are meant to help them cope with their environment. Current global cultural homogenisation is putting this fine balance at risk.
