Abstract
In view of the fact that hypercholesterolemia occurs in 31.4%, hypertension in 16.7% and the smoking rate is 58.8% in males (Table 8), risk factors are not low. Despite this, we Japanese preserve a leading position regarding longevity. I hope that I have provided some evidence supporting the proposal that apparently not only a low fat intake but other factors including genetic make up and a relatively high antioxidant intake contribute to our longevity.
