Best Answer

According to World Health Organization findings as reported by BBC News from June of 2000, listing the health of nations based on their DALE (Disability-adjusted life years) system, Japan ranked in number one. In that same line of thought, the two most recent oldest persons in the world (Miyato Kawate- 114, and Kamato Hongo- 116) were also from Japan as reported by CNN. CNN also reported that as of 2002 Japan continued to hold the highest life expectancy for women, and the second-highest for men.

More Info

Places where people live on average of over 100 years old are called Blue Zones. There are many reasons as to why these people live so long so no one knows for sure. Things such as

-Family relationships

People treat the elderly as though they are young. Thus the elderly don't sit around all day doing nothing. (For example a 101 year old man who lived in a blue zone rode his bicycle over 4 miles to his nephews house EVERY MORNING and in the evening would tend to about 5 acres of his land by hand, usually using a machete.)

Women and men are treated as equals as well and children exercise and play most of the day.

-Diet

Many people within these areas have an extremely healthy diet consisting of many different things.

-Climate

Most Blue Zones are located in slightly secluded areas and have a warm climate that isn't quite hot but not cold either.
