Abstract

In various regions around the world, there exist pockets where people live exceptionally long and healthy lives, far exceeding
the global average. These regions, known as Blue Zones, have garnered the attention of researchers and health enthusiasts
alike, as they hold the key to unlocking the secrets of longevity and well-being. In this editorial, we explore the concept
of Blue Zones, delving into their characteristics, lifestyle factors, and the lessons we can learn from these remarkable
communities. We propose the evidence-based Blue Zone Hexagon, to highlight the actions and targets we can focus on, so
as to make our country a Blue Zone country.
