Lancet最新一期刊出，也在美國心臟年會上發表。

亞馬遜玻利維亞這些原住民以工業時代以前的生活方式過活，hunting, gathering, fishing, and farming。有世界上最低的血管鈣化比例，40歲以上705位原住民中，85%「沒有」冠狀動脈鈣化！

和美國人相比，這些原住民等同血管鈣化慢了24年。

The Tsimane had low LDL levels, and they reportedly are physically active 4–7 hours daily.

The authors conclude: "These findings suggest that coronary atherosclerosis can be avoided in most people by achieving a lifetime with very low LDL, low blood pressure, low glucose, normal BMI, no smoking, and plenty of physical activity."

為了大家的冠狀動脈健康，以上的建議還是很實用的。
