Rodney: I can not find this source you speak of. I checked the link and I

checked Walford's discussion of Okinawans. Where does it say the average

lifespan of an Okinawan male is only 77? That is about the avg lifespan of

an american male (females are somewhat higher). Walford does discuss (pg 88

of " Beyond " ) calculating the average of the last 10% of the population (the

tenth decile). Also accurate legal birth records have only been kept there

since 1872, only for the last130 years. Perhaps that isn't long enough with

which to base accurate figures afa using birth records.
