It seems their rates for dementia/Alzheimer’s is fairly low.

Fiji comes in third to last for their rate.

I just looked up the diet of Fijians.

The basics of Fijian food consists of rice, sweet potatoes, taro, cassava, coconut and fish; and using mostly open fire or underground cooking methods, the ingredients are made into one of the following national dishes. The heavy influence of the Indo-Fijian culture also means the cuisine has elements of colorful curries and spices with it.

(Did you see that coconut is in there?)
