A supercentenarian is someone who has lived to the age of 110 years or more, something achieved by only one in a thousand centenarians. 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 had the world's longest verified human lifespan (122 years 164 days).[1] Since 22 July 2018, the current oldest verified living person is Kane Tanaka.
Jiroemon Kimura (1897–2013) is the longest lived documented man at 116 years 54 days.
