Longevity claims assert extreme human longevity

Scientific status

Prior to the nineteenth century, there was insufficient evidence either to demonstrate or to refute centenarian longevity. Even today, no fixed theoretical limit to human longevity is apparent. In 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 1955, Guinness World Records 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 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 case vary widely in their plausibility.

Fully verified claims

• Only approximately 90 people in modern history have been documented as reaching age 114.
• Only 27 of these reached age 115.
• The oldest person verified by modern standards, and the only person with undisputed evidence to have lived to be over 120, was Jeanne Calment

Problems in documenting

• In the first two cases of people Guinness acknowledged as having reached age 113, both men's purported ages have now been discredited.
• In the first three cases of people Guinness acknowledged as having reached age 114, all three purported ages are now in dispute.
• Of the 10 people regarded by Guinness or the Gerontology Research Group as having reached age 116, three are the subject of substantial doubts.

   has public death records of over 100 people said to have died in their 160s to 190s.

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.

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 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 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.

 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.

• Susie Gibson
  Susie Gibson
  Susie Elizabeth Gibson née Potts was an American supercentenarian and the third-oldest person in the world at the time of her death. She currently ranks as one of the 25 oldest validated persons of all time. Moreover, Susie was older than several 'world's oldest persons'...
  
  : 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 on 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 the 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 an individual's lifetime, cases unverified by proximate records exist. 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

Centenarian

A centenarian is a person who is or lives beyond the age of 100 years. Because current average life expectancies across the world are less than 100, the term is invariably associated with longevity. Much rarer, a supercentenarian is a person who has lived to the age of 110 or more, something only...

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. Incomplete historical claims are listed narratively rather than in table(s).

All cases where 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 notable supercentenarian cases, with full birth and review dates, have been updated within the past two years, but have no publicly available early-life records to support them. The names and cases of people whose lifespan is documented by at least one publicly-available, standardized early-life record are recorded by the Gerontology Research Group in a list of pending partially verified claims. Lifespans of less than 113 years are not thoroughly represented in this data.
