Social Determinants of Health -> Blue Zones

What is a Bluezone?

“It’s a term for our project, first and foremost, but it’s been loosely used to describe parts of the world where people live the longest. More specifically, areas where we have a demographically confirmed, geographically defined, area where people are either reaching age 100 at extraordinary rates, have the highest life expectancy, or the lowest rate of middle age mortality.” https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/04/150412-longevity-health-blue-zones-obesity-diet-ngbooktalk

“What began as a National Geographic expedition to find the longest living cultures evolved into a recipe for living longer that we’re taking across the country.”
