COMPARISON : World’s Oldest People in History

Hello! Welcome to World Data! We live in an era where the average global life expectancy is around 73 years. However, a few human beings have redefined this limit, jumping far beyond the normal line. Today, we focus on the astonishing numbers of: The World's Oldest People in History.

Let's look at the data. The official record for the oldest person who ever lived is an age of 122 years and 164 days. Imagine that duration of life: over 44,800 days! Those who reached this number witnessed more than 20 decades change and lived through countless moments in global history. The fact is: when this record-holder was born, cars were still a luxury, and commercial flight had not yet been invented.

Super-centenarians that is, those who reach 110 years old are an incredibly rare group. Statistically, only about one in 1,000 centenarians reaches 110 years of age. The most striking fact: Nearly 90% of the group aged over 110 years is comprised of women. The question is, why does the female body appear to be more resilient against the passage of time?

Those who reach 118 or 119 years have passed the point where science thought the human body should cease to function. What makes them different? Is there a specific genetic mutation that protects them from the diseases that kill the majority of humans in their 80s? Data shows that many of them have regular sleep patterns and avoid excessive stress.

Leave everything you know about normal aging behind. Because the numbers you are about to see in this video are proof that the human body has extraordinary potential. If life expectancy continues to rise, will the age of 130 become a reality for future generations? Let’s dive into the facts that change our understanding of the limits of life.
