The world’s oldest living person has been identified as a Brazilian Catholic nun.
On Sunday local time, the longevity research organization Gerontology Research Group announced that Sister Inah Canabarro had reached 116 years and 211 days, making her the oldest living person in the world. This comes after the passing of the previous record-holder, Japan’s Tomiko Itooka, who died in late December last year at the age of 116.
Born on June 8, 1908, Sister Canabarro resides in the Teresa Sisters’ convent in Porto Alegre.
She attributes her health and longevity to her faith and a positive mindset.
She is a passionate fan of local soccer team SC Internacional, who celebrated her birthday by gifting her a personalized team jersey.
