The secret of the Sardinian Centenaries by Mauro Bottaro
“Akent’annos” is a special greeting which exists in Sardinia which means “may you live till you’re 100 years old. Don’t we all wish it! But in this small and ancient island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea people really live till they are 100 with a frequency which has attracted the world’s attention. To this day Sardinia boasts 13,5 centenaries every 100.000 inhabitants, against average 7-8 of Europe and the United States. In the province of Nuoro this statistic nearly doubles to 24 every 100.000. On a regional level, this means over 200 centenaries for a population of just one and a half million people. Enough to make anyone want to move to the island!
