<br/><br/> "[Jerry] Yamashita is a picture of vigorous longevity. He remembers 50-year-old details of his life like they happened yesterday....He speaks with authority and the wisdom of generations....Yamashita was one of about 2,000 Japanese-American elders in Seattle who took part in an 11-year study aimed at better understanding human aging--especially factors that might protect against mental decline and dementia. Called The Seattle Kame ('kay-may') Project, the research was conducted by University of Washington scientists between 1991 and 2002. Kame means 'turtle,' a creature that is quite long-lived. The Japanese in general are known for their longevity, and Seattle has more than 3,000 Japanese-American elders age 65 and older. Enthusiastic support among community leaders helped persuade about two-thirds of them to participate in the research." (THE SEATTLE TIMES) This article presents some of the findings of the Seattle Kame Project.
