From the article:
"It remains to be seen if you pass the threshold of say 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?" said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Center.

Man, that's a tough name to have to live with.

Poon is an old-fashioned Anglicization of several very common Chinese names. There are lots of Hong Kong and Malaysian Poons in prominent positions in banking and finance, etc., and a smaller number of Chinese Americans who are 3rd, 4th or 5th generation -- descended from the 19th and early 20th century waves of immigrants.

(The old Anglicizations imposed at Angel Island are where we get Chinese American people with last names like "Fat" or "Woo" or "Loui" -- or that famous Democrat Gary "Locke".)
