The article did not point out to other details of their research like:
1. Do the Tsimane people consume or have access to processed foods?
2. Vaccinations?
3. Any access to pharmaceutical products?
It also mentioned on the article:
"The scientists scanned 705 people's hearts in a CT scanner after teaming up with a research group scanning mummified bodies."
If they performed the test on mummified bodies, how were they able to determine the amount of CAC at the age of 45 and again at the age of 75?
I wonder if they also performed some tests for those people who are still alive?

The difficulty of the researchers on getting there implies no easy access to processed foods unless that, too, came on a canoe to the villagers or the villagers travelled via canoe to more advanced city and traded their hunter/gatherer food for modern food. The few photos indicates only a little bit of clothing made with sewing machines and not looking very new so more evidence for little contact with current tech villagers.
