I think this might be what parent is referring to: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/sunday/audio/2018708179/dr-saul-newman-debunking-the-blue-zone-longevity-myth https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/sunday/audio/20187... Although as far as I can see, the paper has not been peer reviewed yet (but it's also quite old)

Yeah, but I wasn't talking about isolated cases and small regions and centenarians. I'm talking about whole countries and big regions: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistical-atlas/gis/viewer/?year=&chapter=02& https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistical-atlas/gis/viewer/?... If you go strictly by the numbers, Scandinavia or Germany should be at the top: higher GDP, higher salaries, higher HDI (maybe even quite far away at the top). Yet that doesn't happen: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/EDN-20200930-1 https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/E... The top 5 regions in the EU for life expectancy, both male and female, are in Southern Europe.
