Plot:
The team behind the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code returns for the highly anticipated Angels & Demons, based upon the bestselling novel by Dan Brown. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard religious expert Robert Langdon, who once again finds that forces with ancient roots are willing to stop at nothing, even murder, to advance their goals. Ron Howard again directs the film, which is produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and John Calley. The screenplay is by David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman.
When Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati – the most powerful underground organization in history – he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization’s most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican’s only hope for survival.

Ovodda, Sardinia (continued), a longevity hotspot that is not a result of diet. A faulty gene on the X-chromosome that produces an Enzyme (G6PD), results in an increased resistance to diseases such as malaria, but its role in longevity is still poorly understood.
Loma Linda, California. Longevity in California partly due to exercise, nutrition and belief. Evidence in e.g. Adventists reveals lower levels of stressors. Coping with stress is the one only factor linking the worlds longest living communities together.
Okinawa, Japan. Stress resistant personalities are an integral part of this society and their culture.

Okinawa, Japan (continued). Stress resistant personalities & finding a purpose to the day helps promote a healthier, longer life.
Glasgow, Scotland. Shows a makedly reduced life expectancy that is not explained by the classical risk factors.
Crowded living conditions during the industrial period caused increased levels of infections, leading the population to develop hightened immune defences (inflammatory response). This helped the population survive infections, but later in life is responsible for hightened inflammatory related diseases.

The delicate relationships of communities with their environment both in the past and the present play an integral role in the health and life expectancy of their populations.
Example of Okinawans now living in Hawaii, who are at higher risk of developing age related diseases, due to having adopted lifestyles unsuited to their evolved genetic traits. This trend is even filtering back into the heart of Okinawan society, endangering its status of longevity and the younger population itself.
Long-lived societies wordwide reveal a fine balance between cultural habits, lifestyle and carefully evolved genetic trends that are meant to help them cope with their environment. Current global cultural homogenisation is putting this fine balance at risk.
