1. Some cases listed as "validated" may be "grandfathered" cases (i.e. Guinness) that may not meet today's standards.  However, I am confident that over 99% of the cases are true supercentenarians; questionable cases are in italics.

109-year-olds close to 110 (within 3 months of turning 110)
Honorable Mention: Almost 110   (see chronological list for living claims almost age 110)           source added to database photo?
the following centenarians made it to within 90 days of age 110.  Their ages have not been vetted as thoroughly as those aged 110+, but this should give one some idea of how hard it is to reach age 110.
