"Asian-Americans outlive whites by an average of nearly 8 years" according to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4567918/ . Differences in life expectancy across countries are probably due to both genetic and social factors.

Diet might be another important factor. Asian tend to have balanced meals that include significant amounts of vegetables, fish, seafood, etc.
I think the condition is improving. More and more people realize the importance of balanced meals. It shows in grocery stores. They stock more variety of vegetables and fish than before.
