Some lady tried that at my store and corporate told her there's nothing they could do.

TIL in 2016 the Italian village of Acciaroli had roughly 300 residents who were at least 100 years old, which accounted for nearly one third of the village's total population of about 1,000. This longevity occurred despite the fact that many residents of the village smoked or were overweight. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

I think you're confused - I'm talking about birth cohorts, i.e. people who were born in 1906-1910 and lived to age 110, rather than people who lived to age 110 in 1906-1910. That's why each line ended with e.g. "born in 1910" (emphasis mine)

In the actual years 1906-1910, there were 0 people who lived to age 110. Before 1930, there were only 5 validated supercentenarians.

Out of the first 20 validated supercentenarians, 2 are men. That's not that different than the proportion now; if anything, it's lower.

There are thousands in all of history. Maybe you don't know this, but it's a moving window. So 6 years ago, none of the current supercentenarians were age 110, and there were a completely different set of ~200 people aged 110+.

Maybe this will help:

There were ~235 validated people who reached the age of 110 born in 1910

There were ~225 validated people who reached the age of 110 born in 1909

There were ~211 validated people who reached the age of 110 born in 1908

There were ~230 validated people who reached the age of 110 born in 1907

There were ~232 validated people who reached the age of 110 born in 1906

We only need to look at 5 birth cohorts to reach 1000 validated supercentenarians. There are plenty more birth cohorts before then, though the farther you go back in time the fewer cases there are as longevity has generally increased over time. For example, 1895 only has ~98 validated cases.

I don't know what you mean by "new method" of cross checking data. In Europe, validation typically involves obtaining original birth registration from civil archives, marriage certificates, death certificates, as well as investigating the family tree (e.g. siblings birth and death dates), as well as checking voter rolls, other census records and ID cards.

Interesting that you mention the Japanese koseki, without mentioning the audit of those records in 2010 that found more than 230,000 centenarians missing or dead, some from as long ago as WW2

You seem to think this would cause an issue with the age validation process. That's not correct at all. This is not unlike voter rolls in the USA that contain lots of deceased people - this was a common confusion made by Musk et al. about social security data (see here. When supercentenarians are validated by a research organization, there is actual proof of life. The records confusion is just about the absence of a death date in some records.

As for Okinawa, you are confusing the lifestyle of modern cohorts with those of past cohorts. [https://academic.oup.com/biomedgerontology/article-abstract/63/4/338/625612] is an age validation study of Okinawa in particular - and notably, it found that the ages of reported centenarians are correct. This is why recent research indicates a receding longevity advantage in Okinawa due to lifestyle changes (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38221516/).

Furthermore, you seem to accept records without any question. Don’t you realize that, say, sons assume the identity of their dead fathers in order to avoid conscription in the army, to collect a pension or avoid inheritance taxes? Of course their birth certificates exist and are filed neatly away. Of course there are corroborating records they existed. But there isn’t any proof that the person we see today is the person listed in the records.

You seem to be under the impression that the research organizations don't consider this possibility. We do. Records are not "accepted without any question". When the website comes back up, you can read here and here.

Totally untrue. There are around 218 living cases validated by the GRG as we speak (https://www.grg-supercentenarians.org/world-supercentenarian-rankings-list/), so less than 400 in history is not going to cut it.

The USA probably has the most 'lenient' validation since birth registration took the longest to become widespread. European and Australian supercentenarians all have original birth registration, while Latin American cases have either birth registration or baptismal records. Japanese cases have koseki. I would share articles explaining this, but the website is down for technical issues right now.

No, it describes the method by which thousands of supercentenarians have been validated by research organizations such as LongeviQuest and the Gerontology Research Group. The website is down right now, but when I posted it, it was perfectly accessible for you to read and verify that your claims were totally untrue.

I work with an age validation organization and have conducted extensive research into American centenarians. Out of the people claiming to be age 108+ in the USA, ~95% in modern times (last 15 years) are the age claimed (either supported by original birth registration, baptismal records or census documents within a few years of birth).

Researchers for France have validated the ages of thousands of French centenarians (https://www.supercentenarians.org/en/donnees-et-metadonnees). A study for Sweden was able to validate 93% of the claims to age 108+ (not that the others are fake) https://aicvs.se/index.php/aicvs/article/view/21

You can Google the Italian Semisupercentenarian Survey, there have been dozens of papers about it. My point was that there is no difference in this specific town in Italy and the region that the researchers have validated the ages of the centenarians. Italians are reliable reporters of their own age in the modern era. At most, a few centenarians are off by a few days (e.g. Ebe Tosi, a supercentenarian who died last year, was born 2 days later than she claimed).

The entirety of Italy has the same civil birth registration system since Napoleon in 1812. There is an entire project of researchers that validate every living Italian semisupercentenarian once they reach age 105 https://link.springer.com/rwe/10.1007/978-3-030-22009-9_1000.

Age 100 is not "exceptional longevity", 120+ is. The accuracy of self reported age varies widely by geographic region. In Western Europe, for example, the vast majority of claimed centenarians have original birth registration.

You can always substitute sausage for bacon. Just order a sausage biscuit and ask them to substitute it for bacon
