One hundred and ninety-one healthy adults were recruited in Northern Italy and Sardinia—an Italian island located in the Mediterranean sea known for the longevity of its elderly people—from urban and rural areas.

From the 19th century to the early 20th century, a series of multiple revolutions occurred throughout the globe, leaving Japan, Italy, and Mexico forever revitalized by new ideas, leadership, and developing governments. In this essay we will discuss and contrast the revolutionary goals, leaderships, and tactics found in the Mexican Revolution, the Meiji Restoration, and the Risorgimento. Although each revolution is characteristically different and important in its own way, we will examine the efficiency
