Reminds me about Japan and their supposed superior aging. Though the general population believes Japaneses people live longer, turns out its probably not true.

Reminds me about Japan and their supposed superior aging. Though the general population believes Japaneses people live longer, turns out its probably not true. In the early 2010s there was some effort to find out why Japanese people live to 100+ more often. When researchers went to find these centurions...whoops most of them don't exist anymore and died 20+ years ago. Turns out that Japan is very lax in checking its social security payouts. They were finding a huge numbers of these people were simply never reported dead and the families kept on cashing the checks that came every month.
