What is Supercentenarian?
A '''supercentenarian''' is someone who has lived to the [[aging|age]] of 110 [[year]]s or more, something achieved by only one in a thousand [[centenarian]]s. A very small number of supercentenarians have lived to be 115. Early uses of the word meant a person well over 100, but now it is just known as people who are 110 or older. * [[Jeanne Calment]] (1875–1997) had the world's longest verified human lifespan at 122 years, 164 days.<ref>{{cite news|last=Whitney|first=Craig R.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/05/world/jeanne-calment-world-s-elder-dies-at-122.html|title=Jeanne Calment, World's Elder, Dies at 122|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=5 August 1997|accessdate=5 November 2016}}</ref> * [[Jiroemon Kimura]] (1897–2013) is the longest lived verified man at 116 years, 54 days. == Related pages == * [[Oldest people]] == References == {{Reflist|2}} == Other websites == * [https://www.grg-supercentenarians.org/world-supercentenarian-rankings-list/ Gerontology Research Group] * [http://www.supercentenarian-research-foundation.org/index.htm Supercentenarian Research Foundation] * [http://www.supercentenarians.org/ International Database on Longevity] {{Stub}} [[Category:Supercentenarians| ]]
