Website description:
Although the world's average life expectancy is about 71.5 years (68 years and 4 months for males and 72 years and 8 months for females), all ten of the people on this list have defied these numbers and are supercentenarians, or someone who has lived beyond their 110th birthday. All of the oldest living people in the world are women, as women typically live longer than men – additionally, the oldest living people ever in the world (with validation by Gerontology Research Group, which keeps track of the world's oldest people) have been women. A majority of the women on this list are from Japan, which according to the World Health Organization, has the highest life expectancy in the world.
