List Of Oldest Living People
This is a list of the oldest living people who have been verified to be alive as of the dates of the cited supporting sources. It was estimated in 2015 that between 150 and 600 living people had reached the age of 110. The true number is uncertain, as not all supercentenarians are known to researchers at a given time, and some claims cannot be validated or are fraudulent. *Ethel Caterham (born 21 August 1909) of the United Kingdom is the world's oldest living person whose age has been validated. *João Marinho Neto (born 5 October 1912) of Brazil is the world's oldest living man whose age has been validated.

Supercentenarian
A supercentenarian, sometimes hyphenated as super-centenarian, is a person who is 110 or older. This age is achieved by about one in 1,000 centenarians. Supercentenarians typically live a life free of significant age-related diseases until shortly before the Maximum life span#In humans, maximum human lifespan is reached. Etymology The term "supercentenarian" has been used since 1832 or earlier. Norris McWhirter, editor of ''Guinness World Records, The Guinness Book Of Records'', used the term in association with age claims researcher A. Ross Eckler Jr. in 1976, and the term was further popularised in 1991 by William Strauss and Neil Howe in their book ''Generations (book), Generations''. The term "semisupercentenarian", has been used to describe someone aged 105–109. Originally the term "supercentenarian" was used to mean someone well over the age of 100, but 110 years and over became the cutoff point of accepted criteria for demographers.
