She’s the only supercentenarian who could be slightly considered for the list. She will never make it I know but just for the sake of it, it would be fun to have a supercentenarian famous for something else than his/her age. She’ll probably obit and it won’t happen anytime soon that someone of that « famousness » reaches that age.

Leila Denmark was a renowned peadiatrician  and made 114.

[tracy 2,411]

Camacho Quirós didn't have English or Spanish Wikipedia pages until she was 110, so her notability outside of her age is pretty slim. Then again, the bar is low enough to be underground with supercentenarians "famous" for reasons outside of being old AF.

Yes her age is really old for a notable person like a former first lady. Only 12.7% of supercentenarians reach 112:140 according to UK data

Recent updates:

 

- Mr. Seliman Bandang confirmed alive on 9 July 2023. Now claiming a birthyear of 1909 rather than his original claim of 1910. Just lost a lot of credibility.

 

- Mr. João Da Missanga confirmed alive at the age of 115 years & 4 months on 26 July 2023. I think he's definitely a plausible case and should be investigated further. Very frail since around his 115th birthday in March.

 

- Miss. Batuli Lamichhane confirmed alive at the age of 120 years & 4 months on 27 July 2023. Looks about the same as she did when she was 117 in 2020. Frail. Appeared strong in the 2015 update when she was 112. Has a 1934 census and several 1930s newspaper clippings supporting her age. Possible chance of being the age claimed. But each year as she gets older, the statistics in reaching such an age get slimmer and slimmer and the chances of her actually being the age claimed get lower and lower. I thought Maria Gomes dos Reis was plausible when she was 119 but once she 122 I got very skeptical.

 

- Mr. Jose Flores Flores confirmed alive at the age of 116 years & 19 days on 30 July 2023. Seemed healthy and strong until he began a gradual decline around his 114th birthday in 2021. But considering he's survived 2 bouts of covid, a serious urinary infection, and a bad reaction to a certain medicine in these last 2 years, he's doing better than I probably would in my late 20s. He's got a 1907 baptismal certificate and a 1907 census document attesting his age, along with a 95 year old child. Maybe not 116, but I'd say at least 110 if his 95 year old child's age is correct.

She was the fifth-oldest validated living person in the world at the time of her death. 

Quiros is now 39th-oldest. I think it would be possible for her to make it into the top 10 because she looks strong and stable.

fusa now 116 years + 106 days. 

 

2+ years older than chiyo shiraishi the oldest validated person ever born in Fukushima Prefecture and the oldest validated person ever who died in Ibaraki Prefecture.

 

 

strangely despite this fusa is not even oldest person of osaka prefecture yet due to being overshadowed by misao okawa.
