Or are you asking who lived the longest before they died?

Nestor, who worked as a shepherd in the village, used to say that he had lived to an old age because he had never been married and had not had his nervous system "undermined on the marital front." Well, it is true that women usually outlive men.

The longest lifespan, documented beyond reasonable doubt, is the 122 years 164 days of Jeanne Calment (18751997).This is if you don't want to believe the Bible.

...never had his nervous system "undermined on the marital front."clearly their problems predate the revolution.

That title ‘Oldest Living Person’ , seems to be cursed.
To: Just another Joe
Are you saying that because she lived beyond the 120 year maximum the bible tells us? Or are you saying that because the old testament has methusela and such?
To: Just another Joe
so...then what exactly is the documented lifespan of Adam?

Yeah. Just in terms of background, does anyone have any data on how many of these “World’s Oldest Person”-types actually die?

My bet would be that 20-30 years from now, there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of folks that old in the US.
Nutrition, genetics, medical advances, fine cigars...
There’s a common nutritional supplement that has been shown over and over in animals to increase their lifespan by a third.

He lived that long because he took vitamin supplements with antioxymorons.

You had to be pretty tough to make it in the Ukraine during the first 60 years of his life.
