Hunza is located in a remote valley some 200 mi. long but only one mi. wide. It is situated at an elevation of 8,500' and is completely enclosed by mountain peaks...as high as 25,550'...The average age is 90 when they die. Dr. Alexander Leaf, Chief of Medical Services at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor at Harvard Medical School, has reliably reported meeting a 106-year-old man..."the fitness of many of the elderly rather than their age that impresses me,"...out of a present population of 40,000, 6 men are over 100 years of age...In America, by contrast, there are only 3 centenarians for every 100,000 people...
