I think this might be what parent is referring to: https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/sunday/audio/20187...

Although as far as I can see, the paper has not been peer reviewed yet (but it's also quite old)

Yeah, but I wasn't talking about isolated cases and small regions and centenarians. I'm talking about whole countries and big regions:

If you go strictly by the numbers, Scandinavia or Germany should be at the top: higher GDP, higher salaries, higher HDI (maybe even quite far away at the top).

Yet that doesn't happen: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/E...

The top 5 regions in the EU for life expectancy, both male and female, are in Southern Europe.
