Here's an article:

So what’s the reason? Why have the local population routinely lived longer than 100 years of age? Now EU funding and U.S. researchers are coming to investigate.

One hypothesis is that the deprivation they suffered as children, the fact that they had very little food and were forced to fast for long periods of time, has played a huge part in their longevity.

They claim that a low protein diet is important, not buying that at all.
