I wonder if you found Leaf's reference. All long-lived communities in
the world are at altitude.

I have made this observation too after seeing the high life expectancy of
people living in Andorra. Many long-lived populations are also islanders,
eating fish. Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce mortality, and
phospholipids which may prevent from cognitive decline.
