Sardinia contains only 1/60 of Italian population.

The post you linked does not look very reliable

Moreover I'm not talking about super centenaries, but basic life expectancy

People who live more in general have probably better genes, we don't care how many die if we are counting those that survive longer than average

In US life expectancy is very low for being a developed country

And we can't really say that crime rate or frauds are higher in Okinawa than in Los Angeles

Nobody would believe that

Btw, what about France?
