Social support and close family ties are the factors that were confirmed in having low incidence of heart disease in Roseto.

---quote---
The major finding was the importance of social support and close family ties in buffering the deleterious effects of stress and life change, factors which have been implicated in the occurrence of myocardial infarction and sudden death.

Not necessarily small communities but a community who is supportive and has stress-free and relaxing atmosphere close to family and relatives. These are just some of the factors. Balanced diet, lifestyle, and genetics plays a role too in the occurrence of heart diseases.
