List of oldest living people
This is a list of the oldest living people who have been verified to be alive as of the dates of the cited supporting sources. It was estimated in 2015 that between 150 and 600 living people had reached the age of 110. 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. Nearly all the top 50 oldest living people are women, as women live longer than men on average. A list of the oldest living men is provided below the main list.
