Demographics
[edit]It is mentioned in the lead, but shouldn't the longevity of the population also be mentioned in the Demographics section? Maybe something like:"For each 100,000 residents, 68 are centenarians, three times the number found in the US population. 85% of Okinawan centenarians are women which is typical for centenarian populations." refs http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20190116-a-high-carb-diet-may-explain-why-okinawans-live-so-long and https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047637416302202#bib0060 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12470842 72.16.99.93 (talk) 12:42, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Insight into infection section
[edit]The Insight into infection section has a few issues:
- It needs some intro/re-writing to give it context
- Does it belong in the U.S. military section? It seems more appropriate in the Demographics section, as it is based on the population on the island.

- I re-wrote and renamed the subsection "JC virus research study" and moved it to the Demographics section as it is specific to the population of Okinawa - not just the military population. — ERcheck (talk) 15:13, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
Cuisine edit?
[edit]Why is Tonkatsu listed as Okinawan cuisine? It has no link to Okinawan origins on its own page nor is it listed in the linked okinawan cuisine page. 2403:5818:4B3F:0:910F:69F8:B076:D816 (talk) 09:30, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
