So you mean to say that at the time you were in Vietnam the people there were 'healthier' because they didn't get malaria or sick from improperly cooked food than those in the overly sanitized hand washing country of the U.S., even though life expectancy was a full 10yrs better in the U.S. than Vietnam in the years before and after the conflict? The difference in years rnds up being about a 15% longer life for U.S. residents. People in Vietnam were living about 61yrs whereas in the states it was about 71, and that's using statistics before and after the war so as not to skew the ratios.
61 at the time was close to the mark of average life expectancy, but not at the top. As vaccines and improved hygiene spread, you'll never guess what happened, life spans increased, just crazy.
It is quite possible, that with even more mainstream precautions your fish could be living 15% longer.
