The oldest man on Earth: who is he?

Of course, each of us would like to stay in this world for as long as possible, but, alas, no one person is eternal. It is clear that the life expectancy is affected by many factors: its image, nutrition, place of residence, genetic predisposition to diseases and so on. On average, in the CIS countries, men die in the area of 60 years, and women - 65. In Western Europe, this figure is slightly higher. However, at all times there were the oldest people on Earth, who showed great love and lived longer than the average age.

In general, "long-livers" are people who have crossed the threshold in 90 years. According to statistics, women are in this world longer than men, so they own most of the records for life expectancy.

The oldest person on Earth

This title belongs to the heroine Jeanne Louise Kalman. In the whole history of man, and to this day, there has not appeared such a person who has lived longer than her. She was born in France on February 21 in the distant 1875, and she died in 122 years in 1997 on August 4. Kalman lived longer than her children and grandchildren. In scientific papers, information about her life is carefully documented.

Second place. The oldest person on Earth

In the Guinness Book of Records it is said that the oldest man is Shigecio Izumi from Japan. It is said that he was born in 1865 on June 29, and died in 1986 on February 21. If the date of birth is correct, then he stayed 120 years in this world, and this means that he takes second place in the list of long-livers after Jeanne Louise Kalman. However, according to other sources, he passed away at the age of 105 years. What information is correct, we will most likely not be able to find out. But, despite this, Shigecio Izumi still set a record, true, in terms of the duration of work. He worked for 98 years. Another interesting fact is that after 70 years of life he began to smoke.

The second contender for the title "The oldest man on Earth among men"

If you take into account that the date of birth of Japanese Izumi is incorrect, then the oldest man can rightly be considered Thomas Peter Torvald Christian Ferdinand Mortenses, who lived 115 years. He was born in Denmark in 1882 on August 16, and died in 1998 on April 15. In the church there were records of his baptism, which in no way call into question the real age of Christian.

How old is the oldest person living today?

The first place by right in this list is occupied by the Frenchwoman Anna Eugenie Blashar. Her age has already passed beyond the mark of 117 years. On the light, she appeared on February 16, 1896. The oldest man on Earth among men today is the American Walter Breuning. He was born in the same year as Blashar, only on September 21.

Probably everyone dreams of living a long life filled with happy moments, but, on the other hand, there are some disadvantages in this. Think for yourself, friends, parents, children, and sometimes even the grandchildren of long-livers die before them, so a person who has suffered so many losses can be considered happy with the stretch. So do not think about the years, appreciate every minute, every day and every chance and try to live your life as brightly as possible.
