List of oldest living people

Last updated

This is a list of the oldest living people who have been verified to be alive as of the dates of the cited supporting sources. It was estimated in 2015 that between 150 and 600 living people had reached the age of 110. [1] The true number is uncertain, as not all supercentenarians are known to researchers at a given time, and some claims cannot be validated or are fraudulent. [1]

A supercentenarian, sometimes hyphenated as super-centenarian, is a person who is 110 years or older. This age is achieved by about one in 1,000 centenarians. Supercentenarians typically live a life free of significant age-related diseases until shortly before the maximum human lifespan is reached.

Longevity claims are unsubstantiated cases of asserted human longevity. Those asserting lifespans of 110 years or more are referred to as supercentenarians. Many have either no official verification or are backed only by partial evidence. Cases where longevity has been fully verified, according to modern standards of longevity research, are reflected in an established list of supercentenarians based on the work of organizations such as the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) or Guinness World Records. This article lists living claims greater than that of the oldest living person whose age has been independently verified, Brazilian woman Inah Canabarro Lucas, aged 116 years, 222 days, and deceased claims greater than that of the oldest person ever whose age has been verified, French woman Jeanne Calment, who died aged 122 years and 164 days. The upper limit for both lists is 130 years.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Oldest people</span>

This is a list of tables of the oldest people in the world in ordinal ranks. To avoid including false or unconfirmed claims of old age, names here are restricted to those people whose ages have been validated by an international body dealing in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group or Guinness World Records, and others who have otherwise been reliably sourced.

Ethel Lang was a British supercentenarian who, at the time of her death, was the oldest living person in the United Kingdom and the second-oldest living person in Europe after Emma Morano of Italy. She was the last living British person to have been born in the British Empire during the reign of Queen Victoria and the second-last living person in the British Empire to have been born during her reign. The last was Jamaican woman Violet Brown. Lang was the last British person to have been born in the 19th century.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Violet Brown</span> Jamaican supercentenarian (1900–2017)

Violet Brown was a Jamaican supercentenarian who was the oldest verified living person in the world for five months, following the death of Emma Morano on 15 April 2017 until her own death at the age of 117 years, 189 days on 15 September 2017. She was, along with Nabi Tajima of Japan, one of the last two living people known to have been born in the 19th century.
