Biography

A supercentenarian (sometimes hyphenated as super-centenarian) is someone who has lived to or passed their 110th birthday. This age is achieved by about one in 1,000 centenarians.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).

European supercentenarians

European supercentenarians are residents or emigrants from Europe who have attained or surpassed 110 years of age. As of January 2015, the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) had validated the longevity claims of more than 600 European supercentenarians. The oldest living person in Europe is Frenchwoman Lucile Randon, born 11 February 1904, aged 116 years, 153 days.

The oldest European ever, and the world's oldest person ever, was Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment who lived to the claimed age of 122 years, 164 days which, however, is disputed. The oldest undisputed European person ever was Italianwoman Emma Morano who lived to age 117 years, 137 days. The oldest European man ever was Christian Mortensen from Denmark, who emigrated to the United States where he died at the age of 115 years, 252 days. The oldest non-emigrant European man was Spaniard Joan Riudavets Moll, who lived 114 years and 81 days.

Beyond the 50 oldest Europeans in aggregate, there are more detailed lists of the oldest Belgian, British, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish people.

African supercentenarians

This is an incomplete list of people born in Africa who have lived at least 110 years. Most of the listed persons were born in former colonies, that already maintained systematic birth records in the 19th century. Many other supercentenarian cases likely exist in Africa, but are not adequately documented.

Asian supercentenarians

This is an incomplete list of supercentenarians who were born or died in Asia, or are living there. According to the Gerontology Research Group, the verified oldest Asian person ever was Nabi Tajima of Japan, who died on 21 April 2018, aged 117 years, 260 days. The verified oldest man is Jiroemon Kimura, also from Japan, who died on 12 June 2013, aged 116 years, 54 days. As of 13 July 2020, the oldest living person in Asia is Kane Tanaka of Japan, born 2 January 1903, aged 117 years, 193 days.

The vast majority of verified Asian cases of supercentenarians come from Japan, which has kept birth records for more than a century, while other Asian countries have historically been less meticulous about keeping such records. According to The Washington Post, China and India have many supercentenarians, but none are confirmed, as their governments did not track births prior to the early 1900s.
