'''Longevity claims''' are claims to extreme ] (usually 110 or older) that either cannot be verified or for whom only some evidence is available. Longevity claims differ from existing verified ] cases, and also from ] in that either some evidence exists, the case has not been proven false, and/or the claim was not constructed as a result of a longevity myth, which tends to focus on the village elder concept, fountain of youth concept, nationalist mythology, racial mythology, patriarchal mythology, etc. One test of this is the idea, put forth by ] in the ], of the 100th birthday test: is there evidence of the person claiming to be age 100 some 10 or more years prior to their claim? This test does not prove a person's age (indeed, Susie Brunson passed this test, but later was shown to have exaggerated her age well before this time). However, this test does separate the typical pension-claim longevity exaggeration (which tends to run to about age 115 up to 125) and the myth of longevity claim, whereby a spontaneous claim is made that a certain village elder is 150 or 167. E.g.: Bir Narayan Chaudhuri may have claimed to be 141 years old in 1998, but there was no evidence of a 100th birthday party 41 years earlier. | |||

'''Longevity claims''' are unsubstantiated cases of asserted human ]. Those asserting lifespans of 110 years or more are referred to as ]s. 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 ] based on the work of organizations such as the ] (GRG) or '']''. This article lists living claims greater than that of the oldest living person whose age has been independently verified, ] woman ], aged {{age in years and days|1908|5|23}}, and deceased claims greater than that of the oldest person ever whose age has been verified, ] woman ], who died aged 122 years and 164 days. The upper limit for both lists is 130 years. | |||

==Categorization== | |||
In the transitional period of record-keeping, records tend to exist for the wealthy and upper-middle classes, but are often spotty and non-existent for the poor. In the ], birth registration did not begin in ] until 1912 and was not universal until 1933. Hence, there is the problem of many cases whereby no actual birth record exists. Since some were recorded in the census, however, there may be obtainable evidence that tends to support the age claim. Sometimes, however, a single year may be off. In the case of ], for example, the family (and Susie herself) claimed her to be born on ], ], but no birth document has (yet) been located. The earliest record available, the 1900 census, lists her as born in October 1890. Hence, since the 1900 census is a proximate record (not written in 1890), it can be said that there is a near-certainty that Susie was at least 115, and it's still possible that she was in fact 116. In a similar, related case, inconsistent records suggested that Maggie Barnes was at least 115, but possibly a year older. Documentarians tend to 'err on the side of caution'. Thus, Barnes claimed to be 117, and was at least 115, but could have been 116. | |||
''Guinness World Records'' from its inception in 1955, began maintaining a ].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/oldest-living-people-title-holders-since-1955-table/ |title=Oldest Living People Title Holders Since 1955 |access-date=2015-02-23 |publisher=] |archive-date=23 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223043149/http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/oldest-living-people-title-holders-since-1955-table/ |url-status=live }}</ref> It developed into a list of all supercentenarians whose lifespan had been verified by at least three documents, in a standardized process, according to the norms of modern longevity research.{{cn|date=July 2022}} Many unverified cases ("claims" or "traditions") have been controverted by reliable sources. Taking reliable demographic data into account, these unverified cases vary widely in their plausibility. | |||
==Fully verified claims== | |||
In some cases a person may just miss the standards required for acceptance. For example, Rosa Williams of ] died in January 2001, allegedly born in May 1886. The 1910 census listed her as 22, suggesting she was born in May 1887 or May 1888. Hence, we cannot be certain of her age, but some evidence exists to support the claim. This type of case is said to be partially validated, although she was at least 112, so a supercentenarian regardless. | |||
{{For|fully verified human longevity claims|Supercentenarian|List of the verified oldest people}} | |||
*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 ] woman ] (21 February 1875 – 4 August 1997), aged 122 years and 164 days. | |||
*The oldest man verified by modern standards, and the only man with undisputed evidence to have lived to be over 115, is Japanese man ] (19 April 1897 – 12 June 2013), aged 116 years and 54 days. | |||
*The oldest verified living person is Japanese woman ], born 23 May 1908, aged {{age in years and days|1908|05|23|df=y}}. | |||
*The oldest verified living man is Brazilian man ], born 5 October 1912, aged {{age in years and days|1912|10|05|df=y}}. | |||
== Problems in documenting == | |||
In another type of case, the only records that exist are late-life documents. Because age inflation often occurs in adulthood (to avoid military service; to apply for a pension early, or because the government began record-keeping during their mid-lifetime), unverified claims also exist. Unverified claims are less likely to be true (because the records are written later), but are still possible. However, because demographic mortality tables show ages above 130 to be extremely unlikely to be true (on the order of trillions to one odds), it would be best to assume that unverified claims to age 130 and above are automatically false, and hence best served by longevity myths. The purpose of longevity claims, then, is to serve as an inventory for the ] between validated (certainly true cases) and mythical (cases improbable in the extreme that nonetheless may be accepted as valid under non-scientific discourses, such as religion). For example, ] of ], who claimed to have been 118, can neither be verified nor debunked, and the age claim was within the realm of possibility (the maximum proven age being 122). Hence, her case was a longevity claim. | |||
In numerous editions from the 1960s through the 1980s, ''Guinness'' stated that<blockquote>No single subject is more obscured by vanity, deceit, falsehood, and deliberate fraud than the extremes of human longevity.<ref>{{cite news |title=Title of 'Oldest Living Person' Is Up for Grabs -- If You Have Some Proof |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-01-14-mn-337-story.html |newspaper=] |date=14 January 1990 |access-date=2015-02-23 |archive-date=23 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223040655/http://articles.latimes.com/1990-01-14/news/mn-337_1_world-s-oldest-person |url-status=live }}</ref></blockquote> | |||
==Lists of longevity claims== | |||
This caveat notwithstanding, ''Guinness'' at the same time listed a Canadian named Pierre Joubert as the oldest person to have ever lived, with supposedly "irrefutable" documentary proof showing he had been born in 1701 and died in 1814<ref>{{cite book |last1=McWhirter |first1=Norris |last2=McWhirter |first2=Ross |title=Guinness Book of World Records |date=1963 |publisher=Sterling Publishing |location=New York |page=12 |edition=1964 |url=https://archive.org/details/guinnessbookofwo0000norr_l0o0/page/12 |access-date=21 September 2024}}</ref> – it was later discovered that a father born in 1701 and his son born in 1732 had been conflated, and Joubert has been removed from lists of supercentenarians.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |last=Desjardins |first=Bertrand |editor1-last=Jeune |editor1-first=Bernard |editor2-last=Vaupel |editor2-first=James W. |editor2-link=James Vaupel |encyclopedia=Validation of Exceptional Longevity |title=Validation of Extreme Longevity Cases in the Past: The French-Canadian Experience | |||

In another case, Lucy Hannah, previously regarded as having reached age 117, had her verification removed in 2020 following the discovery of additional documents.<ref>{{cite book|chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-49970-9_22|chapter=Age 115+ in the USA: An Update|publisher=SpringerLink|author=Robert Young and Waclaw Kroczek|title=Exceptional Lifespans|series=Demographic Research Monographs|year=2021|pages=317–344|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-49970-9_22|isbn=978-3-030-49969-3|s2cid=230545486|access-date=2021-01-05|archive-date=11 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201211074107/https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-49970-9_22|url-status=live}}</ref> | |||
The below lists are meant to show the present and past range of longevity claims, in the grey area between verified and impossible. The lists should be viewed as a spectrum, with the lower ages being more likely to be true and the higher ages less likely to be true. | |||
Despite demographic evidence of the known extremes of modern longevity, stories in otherwise reliable sources still surface regularly, stating that these extremes have been exceeded. Responsible, modern, scientific validation of human longevity requires investigation of records following an individual from birth to the present (or to death); purported longevity claims far outside the demonstrated records regularly fail such scrutiny. | |||
These lists also serve the purpose of showing the wide range of distribution of extreme claims, which refutes the contention that such claims are particular to only certain "longevity villages". The lists also help to dispel the notion that one claimant should be accepted (without records) while ignoring all the other claims out there (which would also have to be accepted if records weren't required). Finally, because a few of the claims may be true but records do not exist or have not been found, the lists serve the third purpose of categorizing those grey area cases (such as the one of ] of ]) that could be true, but have not (yet) been proven as such. | |||
Actuary Walter G. Bowerman stated that ill-founded longevity assertions originate mainly in remote, underdeveloped regions, among non-literate peoples, with only family testimony available as evidence.<ref name=time>{{Cite news|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,908667-1,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071102230936/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,908667-1,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2 November 2007|title=No Methuselahs|date=12 August 1974|access-date=13 May 2009|work=]}}</ref> This means that people living in areas of the world with historically more comprehensive resources for record-keeping have tended to hold more claims to longevity, regardless of whether or not individuals in other parts of the world have lived longer. | |||
===Partially-validated cases (presumed to be living)=== | |||
These cases have some evidence of validity, but do not meet the criteria for full validation. F.e.: the person may be listed in the 1930 census or Social Security Death Index (in the U.S.). | |||
In the transitional period of record-keeping, records tend to exist for the wealthy and upper-middle classes, but are often spotty and nonexistent for the middle classes and the poor. In the ], birth registration did not begin in ] until 1912 and was not universal until 1933.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Ahmed |title=Research Guides: Mississippi: Local History & Genealogy Resource Guide: Vital Records |url=https://guides.loc.gov/mississippi-local-history-genealogy/vital-records |access-date=2023-06-03 |website=guides.loc.gov |language=en}}</ref> Hence, in many longevity cases, no actual birth record exists.

===Proximate records=== | ||
Since some cases were recorded in a census or in other reliable sources, obtainable evidence may complete full verification. | |||
*]: Barnes claimed to be 117 at her death on 19 January 1998.<ref name="RNOmb">Musante, Glenna B. (22 January 1998) "Johnston woman, one of world's oldest, dies at 117" '']'', pg.

The conclusion is that Barnes was at least 115 years and 319 days old at her death, and may have been one or two years older.{{citation needed|date=September 2017}} | |||
===Late-life records=== | |||
These cases have no publicly available early-life records to support them, but have been made in the press. At the very least, the person should have a claimed year, month and day of birth to be listed here. Claims that don't should be listed in the article about longevity myths. Only claims of at least 113 are included here. Note: the current oldest verified living person is ] from the United States. | |||
In another type of case, the only records that exist are late-life documents. Because age inflation often occurs in adulthood (to avoid military service or to apply for a pension early), or because the government may have begun record-keeping during an individual's lifetime, some cases are unverified by proximate{{clarify|date=December 2024}} records. These unverified cases are less likely to be true (because the records are written later), but are still possible. Longevity narratives were not subjected to rigorous scrutiny until the work of ] in 1873.

These are standardized lists of people whose lifespans remain unverified by proximate records, including both modern (''Guinness''-era) and historical cases. All cases in which an individual's supercentenarian lifespan is not (yet) backed by records sufficient to the standards of modern longevity research are listed as unverified. They may be factually true, even though records do not exist (or have not yet been found), so such lists include these ] cases. | |||
===Recent=== | |||
These living supercentenarian cases, in descending order of claimed age, with full birth and review dates, have been updated within the past two years, but have not had their claimed age validated by an independent body such as the ] or ].

Note: only claims with a claimed birth and death date, and an age between 115 and 130 are included. For this article, claims above 130 are considered to be longevity myths. Disproven claims should also be listed in longevity myths. This list here represents the 'grey' area of cases on the cusp of believability. | |||

Unverified claims of human longevity This article is about modern, or complete, unvalidated supercentenarian claims up to the age of 130 years. For validated specific supercentenarian claims by modern standards, see List of the verified oldest people. For historical, incomplete claims, including all claims over 130 years, see Longevity myths.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, Japanese woman Tomiko Itooka, aged 116 years, 217 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.
Scientific status
Prior to the 19th century, there was insufficient evidence either to demonstrate or to refute centenarian longevity. Even today, no fixed theoretical limit to human longevity is apparent. Studies in the biodemography of human longevity indicate a late-life mortality deceleration law: that death rates level off at advanced ages to a late-life mortality plateau. This implies that there is no fixed upper limit to human longevity, or fixed maximum human lifespan. Researchers in Denmark have found a way to determine when a deceased person was born using radiocarbon dating done on the lens of the eye.
Categorization
Guinness World Records from its inception in 1955, began maintaining a list of the verified oldest people. It developed into a list of all supercentenarians whose lifespan had been verified by at least three documents, in a standardized process, according to the norms of modern longevity research. Many unverified cases ("claims" or "traditions") have been controverted by reliable sources. Taking reliable demographic data into account, these unverified cases vary widely in their plausibility.
Fully verified claims
For fully verified human longevity claims, see Supercentenarian and List of the verified oldest people.- 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.
- The oldest man verified by modern standards, and the only man with undisputed evidence to have lived to be over 115, is Japanese man Jiroemon Kimura (19 April 1897 – 12 June 2013), aged 116 years and 54 days.
- The oldest verified living person is Japanese woman Tomiko Itooka, born 23 May 1908, aged 116 years, 217 days.
- The oldest verified living man is Brazilian man João Marinho Neto, born 5 October 1912, aged 112 years, 82 days.
Problems in documenting
In numerous editions from the 1960s through the 1980s, Guinness stated that
No single subject is more obscured by vanity, deceit, falsehood, and deliberate fraud than the extremes of human longevity.
This caveat notwithstanding, Guinness at the same time listed a Canadian named Pierre Joubert as the oldest person to have ever lived, with supposedly "irrefutable" documentary proof showing he had been born in 1701 and died in 1814 – it was later discovered that a father born in 1701 and his son born in 1732 had been conflated, and Joubert has been removed from lists of supercentenarians.
In another case, Lucy Hannah, previously regarded as having reached age 117, had her verification removed in 2020 following the discovery of additional documents.
Despite demographic evidence of the known extremes of modern longevity, stories in otherwise reliable sources still surface regularly, stating that these extremes have been exceeded. Responsible, modern, scientific validation of human longevity requires investigation of records following an individual from birth to the present (or to death); purported longevity claims far outside the demonstrated records regularly fail such scrutiny.
Actuary Walter G. Bowerman stated that ill-founded longevity assertions originate mainly in remote, underdeveloped regions, among non-literate peoples, with only family testimony available as evidence. This means that people living in areas of the world with historically more comprehensive resources for record-keeping have tended to hold more claims to longevity, regardless of whether or not individuals in other parts of the world have lived longer.
In the transitional period of record-keeping, records tend to exist for the wealthy and upper-middle classes, but are often spotty and nonexistent for the middle classes and the poor. In the United States, birth registration did not begin in Mississippi until 1912 and was not universal until 1933. Hence, in many longevity cases, no actual birth record exists. This type of case is classified by gerontologists as "partially validated".
Proximate records
Since some cases were recorded in a census or in other reliable sources, obtainable evidence may complete full verification.
- Maggie Barnes: Barnes claimed to be 117 at her death on 19 January 1998. Barnes, who was born to a former slave and married a tenant farmer, had fifteen children, 11 of whom preceded her in death. Inconsistent records suggested that she was born on 6 March 1882 at the latest, but possibly a year earlier. The conclusion is that Barnes was at least 115 years and 319 days old at her death, and may have been one or two years older.
Late-life records
In another type of case, the only records that exist are late-life documents. Because age inflation often occurs in adulthood (to avoid military service or to apply for a pension early), or because the government may have begun record-keeping during an individual's lifetime, some cases are unverified by proximate records. These unverified cases are less likely to be true (because the records are written later), but are still possible. Longevity narratives were not subjected to rigorous scrutiny until the work of William Thoms in 1873. Thoms proposed the 100th-birthday test: is there evidence to support an individual's claimed age at what would be their centenary birthday? This test does not prove a person's age, but does winnow out typical pension-claim longevity exaggerations and spontaneous claims that a certain relative is over 150.
- Hanna Barysevich: Barysevich claimed to have been 118. This can be neither verified nor disproven from Belarusian records. The claim is demographically possible but incompletely verified.
- Pasikhat Dzhukalaeva: In 2004, The Moscow Times reported that Dzhukalayeva, of Chechnya, claimed to have been born in 1881 (age 122). The claim is possible but incompletely verified. Her death has not been reported since that time, so no age greater than 122 has been verifiably claimed.
- Susie Brunson: Ebony magazine reported in 1973 that she was in good health at 102 years old, the first major claim of her longevity. She is later mentioned in 1975, when various newspapers claimed that she was celebrating her 105th birthday. An article in the Spokesman-Review claims Brunson received a call from President Ronald Reagan on her 113th birthday in 1983 (and many other papers claim that Brunson's birthday was attended by New York Congressman Raymond J McGrath, dubbing her the oldest person in the nation), and other articles written about her longevity appear later on. Her obituaries appear in Star-News newspaper and The New York Times. Her family claimed that she was born 25 December 1870 and lived to age 123, dying in late November 1994.
Reports with complete date of birth
These are standardized lists of people whose lifespans remain unverified by proximate records, including both modern (Guinness-era) and historical cases. All cases in which an individual's supercentenarian lifespan is not (yet) backed by records sufficient to the standards of modern longevity research are listed as unverified. They may be factually true, even though records do not exist (or have not yet been found), so such lists include these grey-area cases.
Recent
These living supercentenarian cases, in descending order of claimed age, with full birth and review dates, have been updated within the past two years, but have not had their claimed age validated by an independent body such as the Gerontology Research Group or Guinness World Records. The list includes only those claims that are greater than the age of the oldest verified living person, Tomiko Itooka, who is currently aged 116 years, 217 days, but under 130 years.
