if you look at diet,, you'd need to find out what he ate for the last 100 years.  People change their eating habits often.

Maybe, depends on how little one considers little to be. Although I believe she could be living an even healthier and longer life if she got rid of the wheat,among other things, I still think this illustrates the power of a frugal diet (not over-eating, eating little and stopping at or before satiety).
Funny to notice she follows a diet so similar to the one those Okinawan centenarians follow: a diet of raw fish or meat, fresh vegetables and fruits , some cooked starchy grains (rice or wheat). All in small portions.

My theory is that their gut bacteria are able to handle and use the most of these foods, even cooked grains, because they are ingested in such restricted amounts. (note: not adapted to it, but tolerating it)
However there are other factors that equally promotes a longer life, such as the levels of stress endured, pollution (also counting EMFs and such in this category), quality of relationships with the family circle and overall social life, level of physical activity...
