'''Extreme longevity tracking''' is the tracing and recording of claims of exceptionally long human lives (]), as a branch of ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, there is no way to determine the chronological age of a human individual through scientific testing, |
|
|
and exaggeration of personal age is common; in the 2000 U.S. Census, 90% of those reporting age 110 or greater were believed to be false.{{Citation needed|date=December 2014}} |
|
|
Therefore, data on extremes can only be considered accurate when birth registration has been compulsory for at least 100 years. For example, Sweden began compulsory recordkeeping in 1749; the data is considered accurate since 1860 (Wilmoth, 1999); prior to this, age claims in Sweden went as high as 147.{{Citation needed|date=December 2014}} |

|
Birth registration in the US became universal only in 1933.{{Citation needed|date=June 2015}} |
