The number of people in Japan aged 100 or older has risen to a record high of nearly 100,000, its government has announced.
Setting a new record for the 55th year in a row, the number of centenarians in Japan was 99,763 as of September, the health ministry said on Friday. Of that total, women accounted for an overwhelming 88%.
They set the record for fewest babies per capita yet too?
Every year
Gotta get those 100-year-olds fucking
It would just be pixelated
Damn you. I need to get my brain bleached now!
The kids are going to slide right out
They lost 900,000 people last year due to low natality.
Must be the healthy food. They work all the time and drink alcohol aswell.
I saw some documentary about students and they have actual healthy food every day. Its not like in America.
I have been to Japan last year and one of the first things I noticed is that even in Tokio, one of the most densely populated places on the planet, there aren’t that many cars on the streets considering the amount of people. Most people walk and use public transport (which is absolutely amazing, relatively cheap but punctual like a clockwork).
I wouldn’t be surprised if that is a huge factor together with the healthy, fish-and-rice heavy food. I haven’t seen a single overweight Japanese person on my visit.
Yeah thats true also. Also they have higher average iq than the rest of the world.
reverence for aging
Whenever I see anything from Japan it looks decidedly unhealthy - high salt.
Maybe they import unhealthy food into your country because its popular there. Usually the food chains knows whats selling and are keeping those products.
I mean things in Japan. Soups in China are also hard to eat at first because of all the salt in them.
Didnt know that. Maybe thats the secret to long life… :)
Even if true it’s unsustainable if people are going to say it’s an all fish diet. Oceans are cooked already because of us.
Remember when we thought it was Olive oil and salads? Or when it was…
Turned out it was universal healthcare?
The key is: Not fucking dying.
olive oil is still part of a heart healthy diet. that hasn’t changed. you think the answer is gonna be exactly one magic potion?
Yes. Universal healthcare is highly correlated with life expectancy even when controlling for a shitload of other variables. This is like the host studied thing on the planet and the science is not controversial.
I only know of one country worth talking about without universal healthcare, so the rest of us can and should discuss other aspects of this question.
We will not find the solution to eternal youth in a Lemmy Shitpost.
So what? Being 100 is no pic-nic. Get back to me when we can figure out anti-aging and give me my 25 year old configuration back.
That’s pretty amazing!
10,000,000 years damn
Verified in person?
Per capita or GTFO
