Hanzem 708 Posted February 23 On 26/01/2024 at 00:50, Hanzem said: On 26/04/2022 at 02:07, Hanzem said: 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. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLANet 2 Posted February 28 Juan Vicente Perez Mora has allegedly outlived not just every USA male older than him but every USA female older than him too. This is just an extremely unlikely scenario for a man living in rural Venezuela.

In 1940 in the Usa only half of American's had indoor plumbing,it's reasonably likely that some of the American Supercentenarians spent their childhood and much of their adult life leaving in similiar conditions to Mora. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tracy 2,448 Posted February 29 Remember when Dr. Inspector PLANet said no one has ever seen any documents proving Perez Mora was born in 1909? He was on to something big time with that one. Also, unrelated but I accidentally uploaded a random image which is a church baptismal record of some 2-day-old boy from 29 May 1909 to this post. Can anyone tell me how to delete it? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
