Impact of the Blue Zone Lifestyle on Vertebral Compression Fracture Mortality: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

Patients living within the Blue Zone sustained fragility vertebral compression fractures nearly 10 years later when compared to non-Blue Zone patients. Importantly, this association is observational in nature and does not imply a causal relationship between Blue Zone residence or lifestyle factors and delayed fracture onset. This finding highlights the potential benefits of adopting Blue Zone lifestyle principles to improve overall health and delay age-related conditions.
