'''Longevity claims''' are individual claims to extreme human ] (generally age 110 or older, or ]ism). Many individual claims have either no verification or only partial evidence; longevity claims that have been fully verified according to the standards of the ] and/or the '']'' are reflected in an established ].
'''Longevity claims''' are unsubstantiated cases of asserted human ]. Those asserting lifespans of 110 years or more are referred to as ]s. Many have either no official verification or are backed only by partial evidence. Cases where longevity has been fully verified, according to modern standards of longevity research, are reflected in an established ] based on the work of organizations such as the ] (GRG) or '']''. This article lists living claims greater than that of the oldest living person whose age has been independently verified, ] woman ], aged {{age in years and days|1908|6|08}}, and deceased claims greater than that of the oldest person ever whose age has been verified, ] woman ], who died aged 122 years and 164 days. The upper limit for both lists is 130 years.

{{For|fully verified human longevity claims|supercentenarian|oldest people}}Longevity claims differ from ] in that claims contain verifiable years of birth and death given by reliable secondary sources, while traditions are constructed within a longevity tradition framework (such as ] or the ]).
*The oldest person verified by modern standards, and the only person with evidence to have lived to be at least 120 years of age, is ] woman ] (21 February 1875 – 4 August 1997), aged 122 years and 164 days.
*Only approximately 70 people in modern history have been documented as reaching the age of 114.
*The oldest man verified by modern standards, and the only man with undisputed evidence to have lived to be over 115, is Japanese man ] (19 April 1897 – 12 June 2013), aged 116 years and 54 days.
*Only about 26 of these reached the age of 115.
*As of {{date||dmy}} the oldest verified living person is ] woman ] (born 16 February 1896, age {{Age in years and days|1896|2|16}}). *The oldest verified living person is Brazilian woman ], born 8 June 1908, aged {{age in years and days|1908|06|08|df=y}}.

*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 ] to have reached 116, three are subject to substantial doubt.
*The ] ] 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 ] (GRG), stories in reliable sources still surface regularly, stating that these extremes have been exceeded, even at extremely unlikely{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} odds. 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.


In numerous editions from the 1960s through the 1980s, ''Guinness'' stated that<blockquote>No single subject is more obscured by vanity, deceit, falsehood, and deliberate fraud than the extremes of human longevity.<ref>{{cite news |title=Title of 'Oldest Living Person' Is Up for Grabs -- If You Have Some Proof |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-01-14-mn-337-story.html |newspaper=] |date=14 January 1990 |access-date=2015-02-23 |archive-date=23 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150223040655/http://articles.latimes.com/1990-01-14/news/mn-337_1_world-s-oldest-person |url-status=live }}</ref></blockquote>

This caveat notwithstanding, ''Guinness'' at the same time listed a Canadian named Pierre Joubert as the oldest person to have ever lived, with supposedly "irrefutable" documentary proof showing he had been born in 1701 and died in 1814<ref>{{cite book |last1=McWhirter |first1=Norris |last2=McWhirter |first2=Ross |title=Guinness Book of World Records |date=1963 |publisher=Sterling Publishing |location=New York |page=12 |edition=1964 |url=https://archive.org/details/guinnessbookofwo0000norr_l0o0/page/12 |access-date=21 September 2024}}</ref> – it was later discovered that a father born in 1701 and his son born in 1732 had been conflated, and Joubert has been removed from lists of supercentenarians.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |last=Desjardins |first=Bertrand |editor1-last=Jeune |editor1-first=Bernard |editor2-last=Vaupel |editor2-first=James W. |editor2-link=James Vaupel |encyclopedia=Validation of Exceptional Longevity |title=Validation of Extreme Longevity Cases in the Past: The French-Canadian Experience

In another case, Lucy Hannah, previously regarded as having reached age 117, had her verification removed in 2020 following the discovery of additional documents.<ref>{{cite book|chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-49970-9_22|chapter=Age 115+ in the USA: An Update|publisher=SpringerLink|author=Robert Young and Waclaw Kroczek|title=Exceptional Lifespans|series=Demographic Research Monographs|year=2021|pages=317–344|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-49970-9_22|isbn=978-3-030-49969-3|s2cid=230545486|access-date=2021-01-05|archive-date=11 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201211074107/https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-49970-9_22|url-status=live}}</ref>
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 ], birth registration did not begin in ] 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".

Despite demographic evidence of the known extremes of modern longevity, stories in otherwise reliable sources still surface regularly, stating that these extremes have been exceeded. Responsible, modern, scientific validation of human longevity requires investigation of records following an individual from birth to the present (or to death); purported longevity claims far outside the demonstrated records regularly fail such scrutiny.

Actuary Walter G.

Since some cases were recorded in the census, there may be obtainable evidence that tends to support the age claim. Since some cases were recorded in a census or in other reliable sources, obtainable evidence may complete full verification.

The conclusion is that Barnes was at least 115 years and 319 days old at her death, and may have been one or two years older.{{citation needed|date=September 2017}}
*]: Gibson and her family claimed a birthdate of 31 October 1889. The earliest record available, the 1900 census, lists her as born in October 1890. The 1900 census is a proximate record, not an immediate record written in 1890. The gerontologist's methodological conclusion is that it is ''nearly certain'' (sufficiently verified) that Gibson was at least 115 ("115+"), and that additional documentation establishing 116 is ''possible''.
*Maggie Barnes: Barnes claimed to be 117. Inconsistent records suggested that she was at least 115, but possibly a year older. The conclusion is that Barnes was 115+, and could have been 116 or 117.
*Rosa Williams: Some evidence exists to support the allegation made by Williams's family that she was born in May 1886. The 1910 census listed her as 22, suggesting she was born, rather, in May 1887 or 1888. She died in January 2001. The conclusion is that she was 112+ at the time of her death.


===Late-life records=== ===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 ] in 1873, who proposed the 100th-birthday test: is there evidence of the person claiming to be age 100, prior to the post-] 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.

==Reports with complete date of birth==
==Unverified claims==
These are standardized lists of people whose lifespans remain unverified by proximate records, including both modern (''Guinness''-era) and historical cases. All cases in which an individual's supercentenarian lifespan is not (yet) backed by records sufficient to the standards of modern longevity research are listed as unverified. They may be factually true, even though records do not exist (or have not yet been found), so such lists include these ] cases.
Standardized lists of longevity claims unverified by proximate records include the present and past range of individual claims. Lower ages are more likely to be true and higher ages less likely.


===Recent===
All notable claimants without records may be listed as incompletely verified. Claims may be true even though records do not exist or have not been found, so such lists include all such ] cases.
These living supercentenarian cases, in descending order of claimed age, with full birth and review dates, have been updated within the past two years, but have not had their claimed age validated by an independent body such as the ] or ]. The list includes only those claims that are greater than the age of the oldest verified living person, ], who is currently aged {{age in years and days|1908|6|08}}, but under 130 years.

===Past claims===
These notable supercentenarian claims with full birthdate and deathdate have no publicly available early-life records to support them. As with all such claims, lower ages are more likely to be true and higher ages less likely. Additional claims are listed in the ] article. Claims for ages under 115 years, 0 days, are not thoroughly represented in this data.

Unverified claims of human longevity This article is about modern, or complete, unvalidated supercentenarian claims up to the age of 130 years. For validated specific supercentenarian claims by modern standards, see List of the verified oldest people. For historical, incomplete claims, including all claims over 130 years, see Longevity myths.

Longevity claims are unsubstantiated cases of asserted human longevity. Those asserting lifespans of 110 years or more are referred to as supercentenarians. Many have either no official verification or are backed only by partial evidence. Cases where longevity has been fully verified, according to modern standards of longevity research, are reflected in an established list of supercentenarians based on the work of organizations such as the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) or Guinness World Records. This article lists living claims greater than that of the oldest living person whose age has been independently verified, Brazilian woman Inah Canabarro Lucas, aged 116 years, 212 days, and deceased claims greater than that of the oldest person ever whose age has been verified, French woman Jeanne Calment, who died aged 122 years and 164 days. The upper limit for both lists is 130 years.

Scientific status

Prior to the 19th century, there was insufficient evidence either to demonstrate or to refute centenarian longevity. 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. This implies that there is no fixed upper limit to human longevity, or fixed maximum human lifespan. Researchers in Denmark have found a way to determine when a deceased person was born using radiocarbon dating done on the lens of the eye.

Categorization

Guinness World Records from its inception in 1955, began maintaining a list of the verified oldest people. It developed into a list of all supercentenarians whose lifespan had been verified by at least three documents, in a standardized process, according to the norms of modern longevity research. Many unverified cases ("claims" or "traditions") have been controverted by reliable sources. Taking reliable demographic data into account, these unverified cases vary widely in their plausibility.

Fully verified claims

For fully verified human longevity claims, see Supercentenarian and List of the verified oldest people.
  • The oldest person verified by modern standards, and the only person with evidence to have lived to be at least 120 years of age, is French woman Jeanne Calment (21 February 1875 – 4 August 1997), aged 122 years and 164 days.
  • The oldest man verified by modern standards, and the only man with undisputed evidence to have lived to be over 115, is Japanese man Jiroemon Kimura (19 April 1897 – 12 June 2013), aged 116 years and 54 days.
  • The oldest verified living person is Brazilian woman Inah Canabarro Lucas, born 8 June 1908, aged 116 years, 212 days.
  • The oldest verified living man is Brazilian man João Marinho Neto, born 5 October 1912, aged 112 years, 93 days.

Problems in documenting

In numerous editions from the 1960s through the 1980s, Guinness stated that

No single subject is more obscured by vanity, deceit, falsehood, and deliberate fraud than the extremes of human longevity.

This caveat notwithstanding, Guinness at the same time listed a Canadian named Pierre Joubert as the oldest person to have ever lived, with supposedly "irrefutable" documentary proof showing he had been born in 1701 and died in 1814 – it was later discovered that a father born in 1701 and his son born in 1732 had been conflated, and Joubert has been removed from lists of supercentenarians.

In another case, Lucy Hannah, previously regarded as having reached age 117, had her verification removed in 2020 following the discovery of additional documents.

Despite demographic evidence of the known extremes of modern longevity, stories in otherwise reliable sources still surface regularly, stating that these extremes have been exceeded. Responsible, modern, scientific validation of human longevity requires investigation of records following an individual from birth to the present (or to death); purported longevity claims far outside the demonstrated records regularly fail such scrutiny.

Actuary Walter G. Bowerman stated that ill-founded longevity assertions originate mainly in remote, underdeveloped regions, among non-literate peoples, with only family testimony available as evidence. This means that people living in areas of the world with historically more comprehensive resources for record-keeping have tended to hold more claims to longevity, regardless of whether or not individuals in other parts of the world have lived longer.

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 middle classes and 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

Since some cases were recorded in a census or in other reliable sources, obtainable evidence may complete full verification.

  • Maggie Barnes: Barnes claimed to be 117 at her death on 19 January 1998. Barnes, who was born to a former slave and married a tenant farmer, had fifteen children, 11 of whom preceded her in death. Inconsistent records suggested that she was born on 6 March 1882 at the latest, but possibly a year earlier. The conclusion is that Barnes was at least 115 years and 319 days old at her death, and may have been one or two years older.

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 an individual's lifetime, some cases are unverified by proximate records. These unverified cases are less likely to be true (because the records are written later), but are still possible. Longevity narratives were not subjected to rigorous scrutiny until the work of William Thoms in 1873. Thoms proposed the 100th-birthday test: is there evidence to support an individual's claimed age at what would be their centenary birthday? This test does not prove a person's age, but does winnow out typical pension-claim longevity exaggerations and spontaneous claims that a certain relative is over 150.

  • Hanna Barysevich: Barysevich claimed to have been 118. This can be neither verified nor disproven from Belarusian records. The claim is demographically possible but incompletely verified.
  • Pasikhat Dzhukalaeva: 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 greater than 122 has been verifiably claimed.
  • Susie Brunson: Ebony magazine reported in 1973 that she was in good health at 102 years old, the first major claim of her longevity. She is later mentioned in 1975, when various newspapers claimed that she was celebrating her 105th birthday. An article in the Spokesman-Review claims Brunson received a call from President Ronald Reagan on her 113th birthday in 1983 (and many other papers claim that Brunson's birthday was attended by New York Congressman Raymond J McGrath, dubbing her the oldest person in the nation), and other articles written about her longevity appear later on. Her obituaries appear in Star-News newspaper and The New York Times. Her family claimed that she was born 25 December 1870 and lived to age 123, dying in late November 1994.

Reports with complete date of birth

These are standardized lists of people whose lifespans remain unverified by proximate records, including both modern (Guinness-era) and historical cases. All cases in which an individual's supercentenarian lifespan is not (yet) backed by records sufficient to the standards of modern longevity research are listed as unverified. They may be factually true, even though records do not exist (or have not yet been found), so such lists include these grey-area cases.

Recent

These living supercentenarian cases, in descending order of claimed age, with full birth and review dates, have been updated within the past two years, but have not had their claimed age validated by an independent body such as the Gerontology Research Group or Guinness World Records. The list includes only those claims that are greater than the age of the oldest verified living person, Inah Canabarro Lucas, who is currently aged 116 years, 212 days, but under 130 years.
