"Rest in peace... I can't believe it! " "I did not know She died,but i opened the 110 club where It said She died and i though It was fake,i was having a panic Attack cause She seemed strong,when i checked on Google "Maria branyas morera"It said She died August 19 2024,i am gonna cry" "Nooo!!! Please someone tell me that this is not really happening, I want to believe that this is fake news... I am in Shock and on the verge of tears right now!!!! I refuse to believe this happened.. The entire World should be in mourning for 2 weeks with this horrible news, Maria Branyas is in my thoughts right now."

"X person has a surname beginning with C, and their predecessor as 15th-oldest person in France also had a surname beginning with C. They lived roughly 100 miles apart, which is C in Roman numerals. Amazing!" 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For whatever reason this isn't mentioned in the Gerontology Wikipedia or whatever it's called. 2. Canabarro Lucas: Hospitalised for a month in May 2022, back in hospital in October 2022 with covid. I recall she's been hospitalised atleast once since. Always seems to recover quite well. 3. Francis: Bedbound for atleast the last three or four years. 4. Caterham: In a slow health decline. 5. Hayashi: Described as very health conscious. Only recently in slightly worsening health. Back in May 2023 I predicted she might be the last living person born in the 1900s. We'll see. 6. Kretschmann: Seemingly in very good health. Visited a factory earlier this year, which is quite amazing for someone of that age. 7. Shiroishi: Very frail, mentally seems still there. 8. Tessier: Mentioned above. 9. Martin Diaz: Extremely frail, barely conscious but not bedbound. 10. Kondo: Decent health, frail but can apparently walk on good days. LQ recently paid a visit to Hisako Shiroishi, apparently she is still in very good health, Shiroishi is the third oldest person in Japan and the seventh in the world: https://longeviquest.com/2024/08/hisako-shiroishi-114-reflects-on-a-lifetime-of-healthy-living/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My verdict is she looks ok. I think she'll become the oldest Briton ever, but 116 might be a stretch. I don't think she'll become world's oldest person, though it would be nice. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some minor names are still alive from 1915 such as Min Jingde and Wu Jiucheng. 1917 also has Fan Xixian. Another extremely old minor name has popped up out of nowhere recently, Zhou Renqing (article), honorary director of the China International Taxation Research Institute who helped negotiate a tax treaty with Japan in the 80s. Turning 111 in November, he is described as "very healthy" and apparently is the oldest potentially verifiable Chinese man living. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diego 1,985 Posted August 27 46 minutos atrás, drol disse: Apesar de estar muito bem de saúde, como você pode ver claramente na foto, Hisako Shiroishi morreu aos 114 anos. She was the 7th oldest person in the world, consequently the oldest person born in the 1910s. With this death Frenchwoman Marie Rose Tessier born on 21 May 1910 in la Loire, and living in Chateau-d'Olonne, Vendee, Pays de la Loire is the oldest person born in 191x (1910). With this death Naomi Whitehead becomes the 10th oldest person in the world, born in Georgia (USA) on September 26, 1910 and lives in Greenville, Pennsylvania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Cornholio 902 Posted August 27 Back from a hiatus, was honestly hoping Maria Branyas would've been competitive for the 118+ club - especially since nobody has lived past 119 in my lifetime. Frustrating that the next contender is 116 and 2 months old, we are again ages away from any significant milestone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is always a chance that there is someone older than Itooka out there but it seems unlikely. I think Calment`s record will unlikely be beaten this half of the century at this rate.
