Oldest people

(Redirected from Francisca Celsa dos Santos)

This is a list of tables of the verified (validated) oldest people in the world in ordinal rank, such as oldest person or oldest man. In these tables, a supercentenarian is considered 'verified' if his or her claim has been validated by an international body that specifically deals in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) or Guinness World Records (GWR).[1]

  • Since the death of 117-year-old Maria Branyas Morera of Spain on 19 August 2024, Tomiko Itooka (born 23 May 1908) of Japan is the oldest living person whose age is validated.
  • Since the death of 112-year-old Shi Ping of China on 29 June 2024, John Tinniswood (born 26 August 1912) of the United Kingdom is the oldest living man whose age is validated.
