But as Okinawans grow older, their levels of DHEA appear to decline at a much slower rate.

随着冲绳人逐渐进入老年,他们的DHEA的下降水平比较慢。

You might think of DHEA as the marker on the clock.

你可能会认为DHEA就象时钟的记号。

Maybe think of it as backward, the clock's gone backward, right?

或许会认为它会回走,时钟望回走,对吗?

You're at 12, it goes to 11, 10, 9, 8... 1.

现在是12点,回到11,10,9,8……1。

When it hits 12 again, life's over, OK?

当指向12点时,生命结束了,是吗?

So Okinawans, their clock runs more slowly.

所以冲绳人的时钟运行得比较慢。

Something about the Okinawan lifestyle is slowing down their ageing clock,

冲绳人的一些生活方式减缓了他们的生物钟,

keeping their levels of crucial hormones higher and their bodies fitter and healthier for longer.

维持了他们较高的荷尔蒙水平,维持了他们长久的健康舒适。

Here we have a society that has... the lowest, it seems, of everything -

这是一个像是什么都是最低的社会……

the longest lifespan, the lowest breast cancer, the lowest prostate cancer,

寿命最长,乳腺癌发病率最低,前列腺癌,

the lowest colon cancer, the lowest coronary heart disease,

结肠癌发病率最低,冠心病最低,

so those kinds of things fascinate me.

所以这些事情让我着迷。

How could it be low in almost every disease and have this incredibly long lifespan?

怎样才能做到几乎所有的疾病都是最低,而寿命会长得难以置信的呢?

The explanation for this extraordinary phenomenon begins in the most ordinary of places.
