If Tanaka, Randon, dos Santos and da Santa Cruz are all still alive for Randon's 118th birthday on 11th February 2022 (quite unlikely as it's still nearly six months away) the world would have one person aged 119, one aged 118, one aged 117 and one aged 116. Surprisingly it was the younger two of this top 4 who didn't make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahoru also seems to be in better condition than most Japanese Supercentenarians who are frail. At 113 she could still walk a little. At 112 she had said that she wants to live longer. She reportedly did gymnastics, and she could use the toilet by herself. Even after 100 she grew vegetables in the fields. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's true. Sadly for some African countries, record keeping was still poor right up until the 1950s/60s. Other countries in Asia, South America etc. had much better records by the late 1920s, and so we should see more supercentenarians being verified from those continents in a decade or two. One thing having a keen interest in longevity has taught me is that there are so many barefaced liars in the world, even amongst older generations who should know better and you'd expect to have a lot more decorum and respect by that point e.g. Fauja Singh, Ruby Muhammad, Buster Martin etc. etc. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently the oldest living person to have been born on a leap day and the third-oldest ever, he'll celebrate 110 years since his birth (can you call it a birthday?) on the 1st of March if he makes it that far. If he makes it to the 12th of September he'll become the oldest person born on a leap day. Hans Schornack, oldest man in Germany, has now become the first man born on a leap day to become a supercentenarian. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,244 Posted March 9, 2022 30 days is still a lot for a 119-year-old who was "critically ill" three months ago and has needed a nasal cannula for over a year, I hope she makes it though. R. Young said over two months ago: Yes, she has made it through 2021, though it was a health challenge, and that challenge continues in 2022.

Quite impressed to see her reach Sarah Knauss’ age honestly, wouldn’t have bet on it but seems like I was wrong ! The only thing I wish is for Randon to have her moment as wolp now, even if it’s for 2 days.. also it makes me realise now, how incredible Calment’s age really was ! 122 is 3 years away from Tanaka, it seems unrealistic to reach such an age but she did it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seemed very unrealistic when strong WOLPs were falling dead one after another without achieving to reach a 118th birthday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also remember that Knauss was in (seemingly) better condition than Kane, but suddenly dropped dead. Of course, Kane can actually have a stronger organism than Knauss, despite frailer appearance, tremor etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
