Extreme span of human life and longevity claims
Chief Statistician Dr. Cressy Wilbur notes the extreme limit of human life is likely between 100 and 110 years, with 100 occasionally reached but 110 doubtful. He cites Noah Raby as a disputed 131 year claim and Sophia Gale as a possibly 129 year case, warning many age exaggerations arise from faulty records and memory. He urges better vital statistics methods to verify longevity and notes state reports vary.
