How old is the oldest person?

Question

How old can someone physically and mentally live to be?

Answer 1

Most of the oldest people alive average at 116 years of age. However, the World's Oldest Person Title belongs to Ma Pampo who was 128 .

The following was issued by the Dominican Net
Volume No. 1 Issue No. 36 - Wednesday, January 29, 2003


Dominicans yesterday celebrated the birthday of the World’s oldest living person Elizabeth (Ma Pampo) Israel who turned 128 even as government vowed to increase pressure on Guinness World record officials to officially confer the title on the Dominican.


At the age of 128, Elizabeth (Ma Pampo) Israel is considered the World’s oldest living person. Born in Portsmouth, Dominica, and the daughter of slaves, she started working on a plantation at the age of 25 and retired 79 years later. Ma Pampoo ascribes her longevity to her diet--including lots of dumplings and bush tea. She has survived her husband and two children. Her birthdate was stated at Jan; 27,1875.


There are at least seventeen centenarians in Dominica (with four residing in close proximity to Ma Pampo), from a population of 70,000 making it the country with the highest concentration of centenarians per 1000 of the population. Dominica’s pristine, largely untouched and unspoilt environment, which lies largely unpolluted, has been cited as the main reason for longevity on the Island.
