Question and options
One of the most captivating aspects of the authors' research is their interaction with Okinawan centenarians-those who have lived to 100 years or more. These remarkable individuals, despite their advanced age, often exhibit a zest for life, sharp minds, and relatively robust physical health. The centenarians shared their life stories, daily habits, and personal philosophies, offering a window into the lived experiences that contribute to their longevity. Okinawa, a group of islands located in the southernmost part of Japan, is often celebrated for its inhabitants' exceptional life expectancy and overall health.
The confluence of cultural, dietary, physical, social, and psychological factors in Okinawa presents a holistic picture of health that stands in stark contrast to the fragmented approach often seen in other parts of the world. What emerges from "The Okinawa Way" is a set of guiding principles that can be adapted and adopted by anyone, anywhere, seeking to enhance their health and extend their lifespan.

The confluence of cultural, dietary, physical, social, and psychological factors in Okinawa presents a holistic picture of health that stands in stark contrast to the fragmented approach often seen in other parts of the world. What emerges from "The Okinawa Way" is a set of guiding principles that can be adapted and adopted by anyone, anywhere, seeking to enhance their health and extend their lifespan.
Which of the following is NOT stated in the given passage?
- Other parts of the world often follow a fragmented approach to health.
- Okinawan centenarians have sharp minds and zest for life.
- The elderly had a relatively robust physical health.
- "The Okinawa Way" is a set of principles which can be adopted by only a few.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - "The Okinawa Way" is a set of principles which can be adopted by only a few.
The passage says the principles 'can be adapted and adopted by anyone, anywhere', so 'adopted by only a few' is not stated (it contradicts the passage). The fragmented approach in other parts of the world, the centenarians' sharp minds and zest for life, and their robust health are all stated.
