The longest lifespan for a man is that of Jiroemon Kimura of Japan (1897–2013), who lived to age 116 years and 54 days. The oldest living person in the world whose age has been validated is 116-year-old Tomiko Itooka of Japan, born 23 May 1908. [1] [2] The oldest living verified man is 112-year-old João Marinho Neto of Brazil, born 5 October ...
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 100 oldest women have, on average, lived several years longer than the 100 oldest men. 100 verified oldest women The list includes supercentenarians validated by organisations specialising in extreme age verification such as the Gerontology Research Group (GRG), [ 5 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] with, in some cases, press coverage as a supplementary source.
The next oldest person listed by the Gerontology Research Group is now Japan’s Tomiko Itooka, who is 116 years old. Branyas was born in San Francisco on March 4, 1907.
The oldest person verified by modern standards, and the only person with evidence to have lived to be at least 120 years of age, is French woman Jeanne Calment (21 February 1875 – 4 August 1997), aged 122 years and 164 days.
This age is achieved by about one in 1,000 centenarians. [1] Anderson et al. concluded that supercentenarians live a life typically free of major age-related diseases until shortly before maximum human lifespan is reached (theoretically estimated to be 126 years). [2]
Such records can only be determined to the extent that the given country's records are reliable. Comprehensive birth registration is largely a 20th-century phenomenon, so records establishing human longevity are necessarily fragmentary. The earliest comprehensive recordkeeping systems arose in Western Europe.
The maximum life span, or oldest age a human can live, may be constant. [161] Further, there are many examples of people living significantly longer than the average life expectancy of their time period, such as Socrates (71), Saint Anthony the Great (105), Michelangelo (88), and John Adams (90).
