There are no reliable longevity records in these populations (IMO), as
for their health, you may want to have a glance at a chapter in
Schmid's book "Traditional foods are your best medicine" where he
gives another description of the Hunzas and also has a list of
references in the biliography.

And I reiterate: even if Hunzans are healthiER than other populations
around, food is not necessarily the only reason. Other explanations
include: clean air, clean water, lifestyle, social/psychological
conditions.
