According to Guinness, the world's oldest person is currently a man. From their Web site:
Emiliano Mercado Del Toro (Puerto Rico), born in Cabo Rojo on August 21, 1891, became the oldest fully authenticated man residing in the world on 17 January 2007 at the age of 115 years 149 days. Currently living in Isabela, Puerto Rico, he is also the oldest living veteran, having been called up in 1918 by the US Army. A non-combat veteran, he was two months into training when World War I ended on 11 November 1918.

The oldest living woman is Yone Minagawa of Japan, who is 114. The oldest living man is Tomoji Tanabe, also of Japan, who is 111.
Emiliano Mercado del Toro died 24 January, so he no longer qualifies.
