How do you explain the good result of inbreeding among Icelanders?
That's because they practice borderline eugenics. Icelanders have aborted nearly 70%+ of babies tested positive for Down Syndrome since early 2000s.
The only other two European countries that do the same are Russia and Cyprus. Cyprus has reduced the incidence of thalassemia from 1 out of every 158 births to almost zero using a compulsary screening policy.

Who knows. Icelanders also have mutations that increase their risk to cancer and heart diseases that are only scarcely found elsewhere in Europe. That's most likely a result of founder effect and inbreeding.
If you look at the stats around 30% of Icelanders end up dying to cancer and another 30% to heart diseases. But it doesn't really matter in the end because they still have the longest lifespan in the world. And thats ultimately due to their fit/healthy lifestyle and tradition.

And icelanders are probably no more inbreed than many others nations.
Inbreeding is the production of offspring from the mating or breeding of individuals or organisms that are closely related genetically
