Sardinian village where more women reach 100 may be new centenarian ‘blue zone’
Researchers have identified Bolotana, a Sardinian village located about 70 miles from the island’s famed blue zone, as a potential new longevity hotspot. Data show that 13% of women who reach age 70 there are expected to become centenarians, a rate higher than national averages, suggesting local lifestyle or environmental factors may contribute to extended female life spans.
