The article explores the remarkable longevity of women in Bolotana, a mountain village in central Sardinia, which is being considered for recognition as the world's sixth 'blue zone'—geographic areas with exceptionally high concentrations of centenarians. The village, with a population of 2,266, has a striking number of female centenarians, with 13.8% of women reaching 70 living to 100, second only to Hong Kong globally. The study by the University of Sassari and the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that 38 people born in Bolotana between 1900 and 1925 lived beyond 100, a 57% higher rate than Italy's national average. The article highlights the independence and active lifestyles of the village's elderly women, such as sisters Giovanna Marras (101) and Mariangela Marras (99), who continue to cook, shop, and socialize independently. They maintain a varied diet including meat, cheese, and wine, and engage in regular physical activity through walking the hilly streets. The mayor of Bolotana, Francesco Manconi, emphasizes the 'abundance of natural affection' and community support for the elderly, while researchers note a 'strong sense of sisterhood' among the women, which they aim to study scientifically. Unlike the original Sardinian blue zones, Bolotana is notable for its predominantly female centenarian population, with the last male centenarian passing away in July 2026. The village's environment, with its unspoiled natural setting and garden-grown produce, also contributes to the residents' health. The study's lead researcher, Giovanni Mario Pes, stresses the need to understand why longevity specifically affects women in Bolotana, marking a significant shift from previous blue zone research that focused more on male longevity.
