This article is about the oldest verified people of all time. For the list, see List of the verified oldest people. For the oldest currently living people, see List of oldest living people. For the main article, see Supercentenarian. For modern, or complete, unvalidated supercentenarian claims, see Longevity claims. For historical, incomplete unvalidated supercentenarian claims, see Longevity myths.
Jeanne Calment (here depicted at age 20 in 1895) holds the record for the longest documented lifespan with 122 years and 164 days.

This is a list of tables of the oldest people in the world in ordinal ranks. To avoid including false or unconfirmed claims of old age, names here are restricted to those people whose ages have been validated by an international body dealing in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group or Guinness World Records, and others who have otherwise been reliably sourced.

The longest documented and verified human lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France, a woman who lived to age 122 years and 164 days. As women live longer than men on average, women predominate in combined records. The longest lifespan for a man is that of Jiroemon Kimura of Japan (1897–2013), who lived to age 116 years and 54 days.

The oldest living person in the world whose age has been validated is 116-year-old Tomiko Itooka of Japan, born 23 May 1908.[1][2] The oldest living verified man is 112-year-old John Tinniswood of the United Kingdom, born 26 August 1912.[3]

Ten oldest verified people ever

Main article: List of the verified oldest people

Systematic verification of longevity has only been practiced since the 1950s and only in certain parts of the world. All ten oldest verified people ever are female.

The longest documented and verified human lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France, a woman who lived to age 122 years and 164 days.[4] She received news media attention in 1985, after turning 110. Calment's claim was investigated and authenticated by Jean-Marie Robine and Dr. Michel Allard for the Gerontology Research Group (GRG).[5] Her longevity claim was put into question in 2018, but the original assessing team stood by their judgement.[6] Academics have hypothesized the existence of a number of blue zones around the world where people live longer than average.

Chronological list of the oldest known living person since 1951

This table lists the sequence of the world's oldest known living person from 1951 to present, according to GRG research and the Guinness World Records.[25] Due to the life expectancy difference between sexes, nearly all the oldest living people have been women (thus the maximum life span is guided by the female numbers); a sequence of the oldest living men is provided below the main list.
