    don't know if this has been posted yet but I can't find it, so here is a picture of Marita Camacho Quiros back in march of this year. Looks pretty good I'd say ! She does remind me of a younger Maria Branyas Morera

    IMG_3097.jpg

    After Charlotte Kretschmann's death, Marita Camacho Quiros enters the Top 20 of oldest living people. At the age of 113:172 she is the 3rd-oldest ever person notable for reasons other than longevity, behind only paediatrician and co-developer of the pertussis vaccine Leila Denmark (114:060) and oil painter Hatsuno Goto (113:256). Goto's notability for reasons other than longevity is questionable as her notability is partly connected to age and not so important (becoming an oil painter as an elderly woman).

    Ethel Caterham (1909-) has reached the age of 41,998 days surpassing the age (41,997 days) of the previous 3rd-oldest person from the UK, Eva Morris (1885-2000)

    She is the first British person in the 21st century to achieve an age of 41,998+ days.

    Ina Okazawa turns 114 so the Top 10 has now again only 114+-year-olds.

     

    Marita Camacho Quiros first lady of Costa Rica and oldest person known for reasons other than longevity turns 113

    Back when I was super interested in supercentenarians in late 2017 or so, I decided to pick 20 random 110-year-olds and check in on them periodically. They were:

     

    Miriam Moore - 28th Jan 1907
    Ellen Goodwill - 2nd Feb 1907
    Sumie Yabune - 5th Feb 1907
    Rosalie Esposito - 11th Feb 1907
    Kameo Oya - 12th Feb 1907
    Thelma McLeod - 13th Feb 1907
    Christine Hoscheid - 16th Feb 1907
    Herbert Engle - 18th Feb 1907
    Lillian Cox - 22nd Feb 1907
    Masae Uchiyama - 27th Feb 1907
    Maria Branyas Morera - 4th Mar 1907
    Marguerite Bailly - 6th Mar 1907
    Hide Morokuma - 10th Mar 1907
    Sally Ellis - 14th Mar 1907
    Rosena Hankerson - 16th Mar 1907
    Anna Medwenitsch - 17th Mar 1907
    Icie Clark - 19th Mar 1907
    Tame Yamaguchi - 20th Mar 1907
    Helen Turner - 1st Apr 1907
    Merle Phillips - 2nd Apr 1907

     

    Maria Branyas Morera (who survived Covid!!) is now the only one left.

    Nearly 3 years later, Maria is still alive and has celebrated her 117th birthday.

    Out of these 20 110-year-olds 

     

    3 died aged 110 (Herbert Engel, Hide Morokuma, Sally Ellis)

    10 died aged 111 (Miriam Moore, Rosalie Esposito, Kameo Oya, Thelma McLeod, Christine Hoscheid?, Lillian Cox, Rosena Harkenson, Anna Medwenitch, Helen Turner, Merle Phillips)

    3 died aged 112 (Masae Uchiyama, Marguerite Bailly, Icie Clark)

    2 died aged 113 (Sumie Yabune, Tame Yamaguchi)

    1 died aged 114 (Ellen Goodwill)

    1 is still living aged 117 (Maria Branyas Morera)

    Since 2017 the WOLP was from Japan (Nabi Tajima, Chiyo Miyako, Kane Tanaka). Now we have a French WOLP.

    I wonder when could a Japanese person take this title again...

    Apparently there are quite a lot non-Japanese strong possible future candidates (Juniewicz, Morera, Benegas, Rojas, Ceccarelli ), while the Japanese 114+ supercentenarians seem very frail or their status is unknown (not a good sign). Of course we have seen frail supercentenarians from Japan getting the WOLP title, but I think that still a stronger supercentenarian has better chances.

     

    Despite being very frail Fusa Tatsumi actually managed to become world's 2nd oldest person and remain in this position for almost a year outliving various other SCs.

    Now it is 2024 and the oldest person is still non-Japanese. I think that Tomiko Itooka could possibly outlive both Morera and Ceccarelli and become world's oldest person in the future. In any case, top Japanese SCs have been hit hard during the last year, but this was somewhat predictable due to their frailness, now only the 2 most physically strong are still living (Tomiko Itooka, Okagi Hayashi) and the one who formerly appeared strong (Masa Matsumoto). Kame Uema remains a mystery despite her claimed age is around 114.5 now. 

     

    Most likely we will have again a Japanese WOLP. After Ceccarelli's death and Itooka becoming  world's 2nd oldest person there is now a very strong possibility for her to become WOLP since Maria is already nearly 117 and recent posts in her social media point to a worsening health.

     

    Concerning Kame Uema if she gets validated it would mean we still have a Top 10 full of 114+-year-olds.

    9) Charlotte Kretschman  114:082

    10) Ina Okazawa                 113:350

     

      Ina Okazawa entered the Top 10 after Edie Ceccarelli's death. She is the Oldest Living Person in Ibaraki Prefecture. Nothing is known about her and there are no public photos. Even her name and birthdate were discovered only after Seki Yoshida's death (former oldest living in Ibaraki) and she was validated shortly after.

    The anonymous woman from the USA born on 31/07/1910 has reportedly died on 24/01/2024.

     

    This means that Naomi Whitehead is the last living American born in 1910. If Naomi Whitehead fails to reach her 114th birthday this September, then 1910 will be the first year since 1886 not to produce a 114-year-old from the USA.

    Ina Okazawa (born 10 March 1910) has been validated by Longeviquest.

    She has become the 11th oldest validated person in the world, 4th oldest validated in Japan, and oldest in Ibaraki Prefecture, after the death of Seki Yoshida.

    Ina was previously unknown.

     Charlotte Kretchmann entered the Top 10 after Pearl Berg's death. She is the Oldest Person Living in Germany ever. In great condition, celebrated her 114th in a restaurant. Now all the validated remaining people from the 1900s are in the Top 10.

    9) Pearl Berg (1909) 3rd oldest Jewish person ever after Goldie Steinberg and Cecile Klein. Claims to be born in 1910. Looked great in her 113th birthday but frailer in 2023 photos, and seems to be on oxygen 

    According to her son "she is fading fast" and "We must be prepared for her passing"...

    Update of living people from the 1900s

    Old versions by @arghton

     

    November 2022 , January 2023 , February 2023 , May 2023

     

    After the death of Bessie Hendricks (1907) on 3 January 2023 there were 25 living people born in the 1900s 

    (Not counting Josephina Maria da Conceicao (1909) who died on 7 January 2023 and is only pending by LAS. Also not counting Kame Uema (1909) who is apparently still living but remains unvalidated).

    Now there are only 11 people remaining as 14 people died 

     

    6 January 2023 Shige Mineshiba (1909) 113:233

    10 January 2023 Hide Hamabe (1908) 114:038

    17 January 2023 Lucile Randon (1904) 118:340

    25 January 2023 Shinobu Hayashi (1909) 113:316

    27 January 2023 Annabelle Holblinger (1909) 113:317

    6 February 2023 Yasue Okai (1908) 114:073

    8 February 2023 Maria Aulenbacher (1909) 113:093

    22 February 2023 Maki Hirabayashi (1909) 113:128

    25 April 2023 Shina Seki (1909) 113:206

    17 May 2023 Nina Willis (1909) 114:123

    25 May 2023 Hazel Plummer (1908) 114:340

    4 July 2023 Ushi Makishi (1909) 114:139

    12 December 2023 Fusa Tatsumi (1907) 116:231

    16 January 2024 Tane Matsubara (1909) 114:093

     

    It was a bad period for Japanese SCs as 9 of the 14 who died were born in Japan (Shige Mineshiba was born in Japan but lived in Canada since age 60).

    Now 3 of the remaining 11 people (27%) are born in Japan, while back on 3 January 2023 12 of the remaining 25 people (48%) were born in Japan.

     

    The remaining 11 living people born in the 1900s

    1) Maria Branyas Morera (1907) Oldest Living Person for more than 1 year. Oldest Person living in Spain ever. COVID survivor at 113, oldest emigrant ever. In relatively good shape for her age.

    2) Edie Ceccarelli (1908) She has dementia, but is otherwise in relatively good shape.

    3) Tomiko Itooka (1908) Active as an elderly person and centenarian. Survived stroke and brain surgery at 110. Looked strong especially compared to the other Japanese SCs, but had a small decline at 115.

    4) Inah Canabarro Lucas (1908) Oldest Living nun, survived COVID at 114. The strongest of the people born before 1909.

    5) Juan Vicente Perez Mora (1909) 4th oldest man ever (not counting Anisio Rodrigues Alves who is only pending) . Oldest Living Man for more than 2 years. In stable and relatively good shape for years.

    6) Elizabeth Francis (1909) Seemed to be bedridden in early 2023 photo but more recent photos depict her in better shape. Her sister Bertha Johnson (1904–2011), lived to the age of 106, making them one of the oldest sibling pairs

    7) Ethel Caterham Oldest Person in the UK since Ethel Lang (1900-2015). Survived COVID at 110. In good shape, stable during the last years.

    8) Okagi Hayashi (1909) In good shape but she has some decline at 114.

    9) Pearl Berg (1909) 3rd oldest Jewish person ever after Goldie Steinberg and Cecile Klein. Claims to be born in 1910. Looked great in her 113th birthday but frailer in 2023 photos, and seems to be on oxygen 

    10) Masa Matsumoto (1909) While being in good condition in her centenarian and early supercentenarian years she appears to have declined sharply since the age of 113.

    11) Charlotte Kretchmann (1909) Oldest Person living in Germany ever. In great condition, celebrated her 114th birthday in a restaurant. Strongest person born in the 1900s so likely she could be the last survivor as she is also born at the end of 1900s (December 1909).
