## Caption

In Ikaria and in all of the Blue Zones, strong family values help assure that every member of the family is cared for. People who live in strong, healthy families suffer lower rates of depression, suicide, and stress.

Studies have shown that elders who live with their children are less susceptible to disease, eat healthier diets, have lower levels of stress, and have a much lower incidence of serious accidents. 

The MacArthur Study of Successful Aging, which followed 1,189 people between the ages of 70 and 79 for more than 7 years, showed that elders who lived with their families had much sharper mental and social skills.
