Do you have any information, studies explaining what are the factors that contribute to Macau’s long life expectancy (nutrition, exercise, work, climate, etc.)?

Hi Samurai,
Thank you for your question. This took a little searching for information but hopefully this will give you a little something to read. I am providing one link which is to the National Institute on Aging which can be referenced here http://www.nia.nih.gov/.
Another informational site specific to the region of Macau can be found here http://www.umac.mo/dc/dissertation/dissertation_PDF/fba/mba%28ms%29/mba_ms_076.pdf.
This website provides a sleuth of information about the region including disease and so forth. I hope this helps answer your question.
