The GRG validates the ages of supercentenarians (people at least 110 years old or older) by finding proof-of-age documents.

This table contains supercentenarian claims with either a known death date or no confirmation for more than two years that they were still alive. Only claims greater than that of Jeanne Calment, who died at the age of 122 years, 164 days, but under 130 years are included. They are listed in order of age as of the date of death or date last ...
The following table gives estimated centenarian populations by country, including both the latest and the earliest known estimates, where available.

Below is a list of the oldest 50 supercentenarians who have died or are living in Europe. The list including all known and validated supercentenarians who died before 2015 was compiled by the Gerontology Research Group (GRG). [5] Later cases were sourced from more recent GRG data, [6] [7] [8] as indicated in the table. Deceased Living

Supercentenarian Maria Branyas (1907–2024) celebrating her 117th birthday. A supercentenarian, sometimes hyphenated as super-centenarian, is a person who is 110 years or older.

[5] Other research contradicts this and has found that these findings do not apply to centenarians from Sardinia , for whom other factors probably play a more ...
