List of oldest living people
This is a list of the 100 oldest people who have been verified to be alive within the last 12 months and whose death has not been reported by any reliable source. It is estimated that there are between 150 and 600 living people who have reached the age of 110.[1][2] 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.[1]
Upon the death of Violet Brown of Jamaica on 15 September 2017, Nabi Tajima of Japan became the world's oldest living person.[3]
