This is a list of tables of the verified '''oldest people''' in the world in ordinal ranks. 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). |

The longest unambiguously documented human lifespan is that of [[Jeanne Calment]] of [[France]] (1875–1997), who died at age 122 years, 164 days.

==Chronological list of the verified oldest living person since 1955== |
==Chronological list of the verified oldest living person since 1955== |
Revision as of 05:50, 23 December 2015
This is a list of tables of the verified oldest people in the world in ordinal ranks. 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).
The longest unambiguously documented human lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France (1875–1997), who died at age 122 years, 164 days. She met Vincent van Gogh when she was 12 or 13.[1] She received news media attention in 1985, after turning 110. Subsequent investigation found documentation for Calment's age, beyond any reasonable question, in the records of her native city, Arles, France.[2] More evidence of Calment's lifespan has been produced than for any other supercentenarian; her case serves as an archetype in the methodology for verifying the ages of the world's oldest people.[3]
As women live longer than men on average, combined records for both sexes are dominated by women. The longest undisputed lifespan for a man is that of Jiroemon Kimura of Japan (1897–2013), who died at age 116 years, 54 days.
Since the death of 116-year-old Jeralean Talley of the United States on 17 June 2015, Susannah Mushatt Jones also of the United States, born 6 July 1899, is the oldest living person in the world whose age can be documented. Since the death of 112-year-old Sakari Momoi of Japan on 5 July 2015, Yasutaro Koide also of Japan, born 13 March 1903, is the world's oldest living man.
Oldest verified people recorded
Systematic verification of longevity has only been practiced in recent decades and only in certain parts of the world.
Living persons are given in italics.

Verified oldest living people
This is a list of the roughly top 50 validated oldest living people in the world, according to the Gerontology Research Group.[7] All the people included in this list are supercentenarians (at least 110 years old) who have been verified to be alive at some point within the last year.[7]
The true number of living supercentenarians has been estimated at 150[8] and 600.[9] The actual number of living supercentenarians is uncertain because not all supercentenarians are known to researchers and also because some supercententarian claims are unproven.[8]
On 17 June 2015, American woman Susannah Mushatt Jones who is 124 years, 327 days[10] became the world's oldest living person.
