Regions where people most often reach 100-110 years old are the ones where there’s the most pressure to commit pension fraud, and they also have the worst records. For example, the best place to reach 105 in England is Tower Hamlets. It has more 105-year-olds than all of the rich places in England put together. It’s closely followed by downtown Manchester, Liverpool and Hull. Yet these places have the lowest frequency of 90-year-olds and are rated by the UK as the worst places to be an old person.
I used to work for a big north American restaurant chain. Any employer provided employment development was schlocky pop self help. They were always full of studies like longevity studies proving their efficacy. Self help is closer to evangelical big church religion than help. Such a scam. Those classes were so painful.
Anyways glad to see something so commonly held put up to scrutiny.
