Supercentenarians and the oldest-old are concentrated into regions with no birth certificates and short lifespans
In the United States, supercentenarian status is predicted by the absence of vital registration. The state-specific introduction of birth certificates is associated with a 69-82% fall in the number of supercentenarian records. In Italy, which has more uniform vital registration, remarkable longevity is instead predicted by low per capita incomes and a short life expectancy. Finally, the designated ‘blue zones’ of Sardinia, Okinawa, and Ikaria corresponded to regions with low incomes, low literacy, high crime rate and short life expectancy relative to their national average. As such, relative poverty and short lifespan constitute unexpected predictors of centenarian and supercentenarian status, and support a primary role of fraud and error in generating remarkable human age records.

I think they practice the ancient magics, and consume the young to fuel a long lifespan.... and thus, the general life expectancy of the area is shorter. Except for Lo Pan.

Let's call that the Null Hypothesis.
