Scott Douglas Jacobsen: If you look at the UN data, the highest lifespan and health span nations are the typical players in terms of well-being, which comes out to Eastern Asia, North America. In particular, places like Japan, Finland, the Netherlands, and Canada as well with the numbers running up into the 80s – and even in the high age ranges of societies in terms of lifespan women live longer than the men.
Rick Rosner: You can make an evolutionary argument about that. On the one hand, the countries where people live longer are the countries where people take better care of themselves whether due to diet or lifestyle.
Jacobsen: Cultural restrictions, social restriction, or even religious dietary restrictions.
Rosner: Could be, could even be circumstances of life, maybe we even survive better in colder countries, although that’s unlikely. It’s a combination of accidental things and intentional things.
