I agree. The most interesting thing to check would be to try finding some Tsimane that left to work in the city and check their heart values.

I think it would be really interesting (albeit unrealistic) if there were a baby exchange among various populations with high longevity in general or low CVD in particular, and see if there's any significant pattern. Would people with Tsimane ancestry thrive in Okinawa? Would people with Ryukyuan ancestry get a heart attack at 40 living on Sardinia?
