Longevity claims are individual claims to extreme human longevity (generally age 110 or older, or supercentenarianism). Many individual claims have either no verification or only partial evidence; longevity claims that have been fully verified according to the standards of the Gerontology Research Group and/or the Guinness Book of World Records are reflected in an established list of supercentenarians.

Scientific status

There is insufficient evidence either to demonstrate or to refute centenarian longevity prior to the nineteenth century. Even today, no fixed theoretical limit to human longevity is apparent. Studies in the biodemography of human longevity indicate a late-life mortality deceleration law: that death rates level off at advanced ages to a late-life mortality plateau. That is, there is no fixed upper limit to human longevity, or fixed maximal human lifespan. This law was first quantified in 1939, when researchers found that the one-year probability of death at advanced age asymptotically approaches a limit of 44% for women and 54% for men.

Categorization

In fall 1955, Guinness World Records began maintaining a list of the verified oldest people that developed into a list of all supercentenarians that had been verified with three documents in a standard process. Unverified cases ("claims" or "traditions") that have not been controverted by reliable sources vary widely in their plausibility as determined by reliable demographic data.

Fully verified claims

• Only approximately 80 people in modern history have been documented as reaching age 114.
• Only about 26 of these reached age 115.
• As of 10 January the oldest verified living person is American woman Besse Cooper (born 26 August 1896, age 128 years, 137 days).
• The oldest person verified by modern standards, and the only person with undisputed evidence to have lived to be over 120, was French woman Jeanne Calment (21 February 1875 – 4 August 1997, age 122 years 164 days).

Problems in documenting

• The first two people Guinness accepted as reaching 113, both of whom were male, have now been discredited.
• The first three people to be acknowledged by Guinness as reaching 114 have all had their claims disputed.
• Of the ten people regarded by Guinness or the Gerontology Research Group to have reached 116, three are subject to substantial doubt.
• The United States Social Security Administration has public death records of over 100 people said to have died in their 160s to 190s.

As Guinness states in numerous editions from the 1960s to the 1980s, "No single subject is more obscured by vanity, deceit, falsehood, and deliberate fraud than the extremes of human longevity." Despite the demographic evidence of the extremes of verified modern longevity, as established by Guinness and the Gerontology Research Group (GRG), stories in reliable sources still surface regularly, stating that these extremes have been exceeded. Responsible validation of longevity claims involves investigation of records following the claimant from birth to the present, and claims far outside the demonstrated records regularly fail such scrutiny.

Actuary Walter G. Bowerman states that longevity assertions originate mainly in remote, underdeveloped regions, among illiterate peoples, evidenced by nothing more than family testimony.

In the transitional period of record-keeping, records tend to exist for the wealthy and upper-middle classes, but are often spotty and nonexistent for the poor. In the United States, birth registration did not begin in Mississippi until 1912 and was not universal until 1933. Hence, in many longevity cases no actual birth record exists. This type of case is classified by gerontologists as "partially validated".

Proximate records

This article appears to contradict the article List of disputed supercentenarian claimants#Age Claimed Varies. Please discuss at the talk page and do not remove this message until the contradictions are resolved. (October 2010)

Since some cases were recorded in the census or other reliable sources, obtainable evidence may complete a fully verified claim.

• Susie Gibson: Gibson and her family claimed a birthdate of 31 October 1889. The earliest record available, the 1900 census, lists her as born 31 October 1890. The 1900 census is a proximate record, not an immediate record written in 1890. The gerontologist's methodological conclusion is that, at her death 16 February 2006, it is nearly certain (sufficiently verified) that Gibson was at least 115 years 108 days, and that additional documentation establishing 116 is possible.
• Maggie Barnes: Barnes claimed to be 117 at her death 19 January 1998. Inconsistent records suggested that she was born 6 March 1882 at latest, but possibly a year earlier. The conclusion is that Barnes was at least 115 years 319 days, and could have been 116 or 117.

Late-life records

In another type of case, the only records that exist are late-life documents. Because age inflation often occurs in adulthood (to avoid military service or to apply for a pension early), or because the government may have begun record-keeping during the claimant's mid-lifetime, claims unverified by proximate records exist. These unverified claims are less likely to be true (because the records are written later), but are still possible. Longevity narratives did not come in for serious scrutiny until the work of William Thoms in 1873, who proposed the 100th-birthday test: is there evidence of the person claiming to be age 100, prior to the post-centenarian claim? This test does not prove a person's age, but does separate the typical pension-claim longevity exaggeration (which tends to reach 115 to 125) and the spontaneous claim that a certain relative is over 150.

• Hanna Barysevich: Barysevich claimed to have been 118. This can be neither verified nor disproven from Belarus records. The claim is demographically possible but incompletely verified. The probability of surviving to age 118 is low.
• Pasikhat Dzhukalayeva: In 2004, The Moscow Times reported that Dzhukalayeva of Chechnya claimed to have been born in 1881 (age 122). The claim is possible but incompletely verified. Her death has not been reported since that time, so no age above 122 has been verifiably claimed.
• Susie Brunson: Her obituaries appear in The Morning Star newspaper and The New York Times. Her family claims that she was born in 1870 and lived to age 123. Her Social Security records indicate that she was born 25 December 1888, making her only 105 years 355 days, when she died 15 December 1994. The claim is controverted by a reliable source.

Claims with complete birth date

Standardized lists of longevity claims unverified by proximate records include both modern (Guinness-era) and complete historical individual claims. Incomplete historical claims are listed narratively rather than tabularly. Lower ages are more likely to be true and higher ages less likely.

All notable claimants to supercentenarianism without records may be listed as unverified. Claims may be true even though records do not exist or have not been found, so such lists include all such grey-area cases.

Living claimants

These notable supercentenarian claims with full birth and update dates were updated within the past 2 years, and have no publicly available early-life records to support them. Claims with at least one publicly available standardized early-life record are maintained by the Gerontology Research Group in a list of pending partially verified claims. Claims for ages under 113 years 0 days, are not thoroughly represented in this data.
