Supercentenarian

Supercentenarian Maria Branyas (1907–2024) celebrating her 117th birthday

A supercentenarian, sometimes hyphenated as super-centenarian, is a person who is 110 years or older. This age is achieved by about one in 1,000 centenarians.[1] Supercentenarians typically live a life free of significant age-related diseases until shortly before the maximum human lifespan is reached.[2][3]
