Great Brtain: Readers Union, 1976. In the remote Andean highlands there exist communities of people who may live for 140 years or more, while at the same time remaining agile and lucid. Death from cancer or heart disease in these communities is unknown. Scientists want to know more about the ageing process; what are the factors, in what combination, which enables these people of the Andes to live so long, with their health and vitality amazingly well preserved? What is their diet? Are they resistant to some of the diseases afflicting other areas of the world? Do they use herbs and fertility drugs? And what is the attitude of these communities to their old? What part do they play in their villages? What is their relationship with the younger members of the families? The author, who has spent a good deal of time living among these people, discusses his findings in this fascinating account. Illustrated.
