The Longest Living Place in China

In fact, relatively speaking, the south should live longer in five longevity zones: Akto-Aksu-Turpan longevity zone in Xinjiang, Luxi-Menghai-Jinghong longevity zone in Yunnan, Dujiangyan-Pengshan longevity zone in Sichuan, Bama-Du 'an-Donglan longevity zone in Guangxi and Sanshui-Foshan longevity zone in Guangdong. This year, Wang Wuyi, a researcher from the Institute of Geography of China Academy of Sciences, and other scholars outlined the distribution map of five longevity areas in China. From this map, people can see where China is the hometown of longevity and where centenarians in China live. Wang Wuyi told reporters that the longevity areas in China have a common feature, that is, they are mainly distributed in river basins, but mainly in the Pearl River, Yangtze River and Lancang River basins, while the northeast and northwest regions are "blind areas" for longevity, which is closely related to the natural environment and climatic conditions. Guangxi: China Longevity Hometown No.65438 +0.50 years, the number of centenarians in China increased more than five times. Experts told reporters that the life expectancy of the population in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was 22 years, while in 1.949, the life expectancy of the population in China was 35 years. At present, the life expectancy of our population is 72 years. China's first census began at 1953, and ended at the fifth census in 2000. The number of centenarians in China was 3,373, 4,900, 385 1, 668 1 and 17877 respectively. It can be seen that the number of centenarians in China has increased fivefold in the past 50 years. According to the data, in the World Population Outlook in 2002, the research institute drew a population age structure pyramid for China people in 2005 and 2050. The spires of these two pyramids extend to 100+, but compared with the huge base of China's total population, the proportion of centenarians is still very small, and the spires are still lonely. Five longevity belts and eight longevity towns. How to judge whether this area is the "hometown of longevity"? Huang Biao, a researcher at Nanjing Institute of Soil Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, told reporters that there is an international standard in Changshou District, which is multifaceted. One of the criteria is to look at the number of centenarians in this area. Internationally, among the population of 654.38+million, there are seven elderly people over 100 years old, and this area is a longevity area. Since 2007, China Gerontology Society has successively certified eight "Longevity Homes of China", including Mayang in Hunan, Yongfu in Guangxi, Pengshan in Sichuan, Zhongxiang in Hubei, Sanshui in Guangdong, Xiayi in Henan, Rugao in Jiangsu and Dujiangyan in Sichuan. Wang Wuyi, a researcher at the Institute of Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences who specializes in studying longevity from the perspective of geographical environment, published the county distribution map of 2/65438+ million centenarians in China in the article Geographical Environment and Healthy Longevity. Wang Wuyi told reporters that the study was based on the fourth population census in China, and the population of the county was 65,438+10,000, and the proportion of centenarians reached 2/65,438+10,000. On this map, we can see five longevity belts: Bama-Du 'an-Donglan longevity belt in Guangxi, Sanshui-Foshan longevity belt in Guangdong, Dujiangyan-Pengshan longevity belt in Sichuan, Luxi-Menghai-Jinghong longevity belt in Yunnan and Akto-Aksu-Turpan longevity belt in Xinjiang. Wu Wang said that through the analysis, some spatial distribution characteristics and environmental characteristics of Changshou area in China were obtained, especially in the southwest. Guangxi is the province with the densest longevity population and the largest proportion in China, followed by Hainan, Guangdong and Xinjiang. Northeast and northwest are "blind areas" for longevity. Wang Wuyi told reporters that Guangxi was ranked 1 in China's Changshou District, and the proportion of long-lived elderly people reached the internationally recognized standards for longevity areas, followed by Hainan, Guangdong and Xinjiang. Northeast and northwest China are "blind areas" for longevity, and the proportion of centenarians in the three northeastern provinces is more than half lower than the national average. Why are there far more long-lived elderly people in Southwest China than in Northeast China? Wang Wuyi said that in terms of climatic conditions, China's longevity areas are mainly distributed in the central and south subtropical zone, the tropical edge and the warm temperate zone in Xinjiang, and there is no temperate zone. These places have beautiful natural environment. The altitude is moderate, generally below 1500m. The climate is cool and pleasant, with no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer. The suitable climate and abundant vegetation create a comfortable living environment for human beings, which is beneficial to health and longevity. At the same time, experts found that soil and food in longevity areas are also rich in micronutrients. Wu Wang said that the analysis data from all over the country showed that the soil selenium content in all longevity areas was high. However, the natural conditions in northwest and northeast China are much worse, with dry climate and drastic climate change, not as mild as subtropical climate, and the risks of diseases such as hypertension and heart disease are significantly higher than those in other regions. Is Xinjiang a longevity area? In the PPT of Huang Biao's speech, the reporter saw that in China's "longevity belt", Karamay, Xinjiang was impressively listed; On the map of five longevity areas in China, Wang Wuyi, Akto-Aksu-Turpan longevity area in Xinjiang is also included. This also makes many people wonder: this area, which is known as "wearing leather clothes early and wearing shawls at noon", has a great temperature difference between morning and evening, with little rain and yellow sand bursts. Why is it still the hometown of longevity? In this regard, the academic community is also controversial. Huang Biao told reporters that the small environment in Changshou District of Xinjiang is still an "oasis", with abundant surface water, many trees and different rural scenery, which may be related to the water and soil here, but there is no specific research data at present. On June 6th, 2008, 65438+20081October 6th, 2008, in the list of "Top Ten Longevity Stars in China" published by Rugao, the oldest longevity stars of both sexes were Uygur in Xinjiang. The birthday girl is Sadik Sawuti of Kashgar, who is 12 1 year old this year. The birthday girl is Mai Hefu Zi Han from Urumqi, who is 1 18 years old this year. I hope I can help you.
