Supercentenarian
Seorang supercentenarian adalah seseorang yang telah hidup atau melewati ulang tahun ke-110 mereka. Usia ini dicapai oleh sekitar satu dalam 1.000 centenarian.[1] Anderson dan lainnya menyimpulkan bahwa supercentenarian hidup dalam suatu kehidupan yang biasanya bebas dari penyakit utama yang berhubungan dengan usia sampai sesaat sebelum rentang hidup manusia maksimun dicapai (antara 110 dan 115 tahun).[2]
Insidensi
Diperkirakan terdapat 300–450 supercentenarian yang masih hidup[3] di dunia, meskipun sekitar 100 kasus terverifikasi diketahui.[4] A study conducted in 2010 showed that the countries with the most known supercentenarians (living and dead, in order of total) were the United States,[5] Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy.[6]
The first verified supercentenarian in human history died in the late nineteenth century. Until the 1980s, the oldest age attained by supercentenarians was 115, but this has since been surpassed.
