The Uighur language is of the Turkic family and is very closely related to Uzbek.

Uyghur Region is the area that has the highest longevity rate in China. It has 25% of the total of people who live over a hundred years in China. In October,1985, the area was listed as The World Longevity Area by the International Natural Medical Science Commitee in Tokyo, Japan.
According to researchers, the reasons for the high longevity rate in the area are related to the region's weather, environment, and people's life habits and physical quality. Yet it is also directly because of their food
