Journal Title: Българско списание за обществено здраве (Bulgarian Journal of Public Health) - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of actual publication is the study of factors for health and longevity for long living people4 and centenarians5 and their brothers and sisters in 6 municipalities in the regions Lovech, Pleven and Plovdiv (2012-2017) and in municipality Smolyan (2018). The applied methods are documental, sociological – semi-structured collective interview “ face to face“, biophysical, chemical and statistical methods. There were studied the parameters of spring mountain water. There were presented the results from village of Momchilovtsi, Smolyan Municipality. This region is with attitude above sea level 1000 m. There was studied the local extremum at λ6 = 8,95 μm of the spring mountain water from village of Momchilovtsi. The local extremum at λ = 8,95 μm is indicator for preservation of the energy among water molecules for the people, who are in good health status. This extremum is decreasing for the people with oncologic diseases. There were executed NES 7 - DNES8 - methods for spectral analysis of spring mountain sourses (1). As factor were measured the valued of middle energy of hydrogen bonds (∆EH...O) among water molecules. The results show that the average lifespan of respondents conducted with long living people and centenerians in Municipality of Smolyan is 93.7. This is near the results of the long living people in 6 municipalities in the regions Lovech, Pleven and Plovdiv, where people are living in mountains - 94.1 years. The oldest person in Smolyan Municipality is 103 years old. The average lifespan of the brothers and sisters of long-living people and centenarians in Smolyan Municipality is 76.7 years versus 88,5 years in 6 municipalities in the regions Lovech, Pleven and Plovdiv. There is a higher average life expectancy of the studied long-living people and centenarianss from the six municipalities in the districts of Lovech, Pleven and Plovdiv,The average lifespan of long lived people and centenarians in mountain areas is 94.1 years. For the average lifespan of long living people in plain areas the result is 90.6 years. It is found that the rate of aging increases with time, and that the number of long-living people and centenarians is decreasing with age.The interrelation between the number of Bulgarian long living people and centenarians in the mountainous municipality of Smolyan and their age is close to exponential. The conclusions of this research show in the report that mountain water and yoghurt are part of secret of longevity. Both they and natural food contain trace elements – Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Manganese (Mn), Zink (Zn). The author shows that in Smolyan Municipality, Rhodope Mountain there is balance between oxidant and antioxidant activity in the human organism of the people, who are living here.
