It is noteworthy that of the 10 oldest inhabitants of the planet - some women.
Lived the most
The Frenchwoman Zhanna Kalman has lived the longest in the history of data management. Her age was 122 years and 164 days.
Madame Kalman was born on February 21, 1875, the last day of her life was on August 4, 1997.It is the only documented confirmation of the oldest person who ever lived on our planet.
Jeanne Kalman is the only person who, according to officially confirmed data, lived to 120 years old and has the longest record of the past years.
As such, the secret of long life, according to Jeanne Louise Kalman - she does not. She was born in the town of Arles, where she lived her whole life. At 21, Jeanne Louise married a second cousin and two years later gave birth to a daughter. In 1926, she became a grandmother, but after that happy events in her life became less: after 5 years, Jeanne survives first the death of her daughter, 10 years later, her husband's death, and 21 years later, the death of her grandson. In old age the old woman remained without a single heir.
It's interesting that Madame Kalman never worked.
After the death of her daughter, Zhanna took up the education of her grandson, whose death was her greatest loss. For a while, Madame Kalman lived with her son-in-law, until the time when he himself went to another world. For a time, she lived herself, until she arranged, by carelessness, in her house a fire. This incident forced the old woman to move to a nursing home, where she lived for the rest of her life.
The secret of the long-time madam Kalman scientists have not been established. Throughout her life, Jeanne Louise smoked and threw this bad habit only after 117 years, because of the surgery. Nevertheless, Madame Kalman up to old age cycling, practicing tennis and swimming - in a word, she led a fairly sporty lifestyle, at that time.
Most doctors are inclined to believe that the reason for the long life of the oldest inhabitant of the planet was good genetics and a fairly active lifestyle.
