Abstract
By definition, a validated supercentenarian is a properly documented centenarian who has lived to be at least the age of 110 years. Tables 1 and 2, based on records maintained by members of the Gerontology Research Group (GRG), continue the series last published in Rejuvenation Research in 2021—giving the latest list of living supercentenarians, currently with a cutoff age of 113+. It should be emphasized that this list does not include all living supercentenarians, only those whose claim can be validated to the required standard as well as trimmed to 113 and over; the true population is estimated to be in the region of 800–1000 (worldwide).
