| Notes | |||||||||||||
| 1 | The age given is as of the last update. | ||||||||||||
| It is possible some people may have died, but no case should be more than one year out of date. | |||||||||||||
| If an individual has not been confirmed living in the past year, | |||||||||||||
| they are removed from the list, even if their death has not been reported. | |||||||||||||
| 2 | The total number Supercentenarians that we have cited above has been frequently been | ||||||||||||
| misconstrued in the news media as representing every single person in the world aged 110 | |||||||||||||
| and over. The actual estimated number of worldwide living Supercentenarians is more likely | |||||||||||||
| to be between [300 - 450] persons. For the USA, we predict something like [60 - 75] | |||||||||||||
| Supercentenarians. While the total number of validated cases cited above is only about ten percent | |||||||||||||
| of the suspected real-world total, it should also be noted that the bulk of the true Supecentenarians | |||||||||||||
| actually fall between [110 - 113] years old; hardly any ever survive to live past 115. {Our estimate | |||||||||||||
| of [300 - 450] persons is based on a survival percentage of centenarians-to-age-110 to be | |||||||||||||
| between [0.15 - 0.25] percent.} | |||||||||||||
| It should be noted that a significant majority of worldwide claimants to be age 110-or-over | |||||||||||||
| have subsequently been proven to be false; these individuals and more often their family | |||||||||||||
| or friends have their own personal motives for claiming these persons and, we are sad to report, | |||||||||||||
| are occasionally disingenuous (not well-intentioned). | |||||||||||||
| We believe that the increasing number of true cases that we have observed during | |||||||||||||
| the last 30 years are the result of at least two factors: | |||||||||||||
| (1) the diligence of our own committee members throughout the world who deserve much | |||||||||||||
| of the credit; and | |||||||||||||
| (2) far more persons are reaching 110 than ever before. That is, people who were dying | |||||||||||||
| at [105 - 109] are now reaching [110 - 113] years of age. | |||||||||||||
| Please note that the SSA data show that both of these reasons are major factors, | |||||||||||||
| and that it would be incorrect to ascribe all of the increase to an actual increase in | |||||||||||||
| longevity or all of the increase due to better record-keeping. Coming in the next few | |||||||||||||
| months, an SSA Report, along with our own historical databases, will better show | |||||||||||||
| how much of the increase can be ascribed to each of these two factors. | |||||||||||||
| Finally, there is no statistical evidence to support the hypothesis that the absolute | |||||||||||||
| number of Supercentenarians is increasing as a percentage of the total population, | |||||||||||||
| although there is some evidence from animal studies that a reduction in the force of | |||||||||||||
| evolution after age 90 changes our mortality from an exponentially-increasing rate to | |||||||||||||
| a constant rate in the oldest old. This has become an important area of research in | |||||||||||||
| biodemography, and the answers are not in yet. | |||||||||||||
| 3 | To Our Readers: Do you know of someone aged 110 or older currently living who | ||||||||||||
| is not on this list, but has the documents to prove it? | |||||||||||||
| In this case, please contact one of our three Supercentenarian Claims Investigators: | |||||||||||||
