A resident of Uzbekistan can become the oldest person on the planet

The Kokand Interdistrict Court of Uzbekistan confirmed the date of birth of a resident of the republic, Huvaido Umarova, who was born on January 1, 1895. This is reported by the Ministry of Justice of Uzbekistan in the telegram channel.

Thus, it was found that the woman's age reached 130 years.

The court, having granted Umarova's petition, at the same time stated that no documentary evidence of her age was found — there are no records in metric books or other archival documents that could confirm the date of birth of the centenarian.

A resident of Uzbekistan may become the first person on the planet to reach the 130-year milestone. The Ministry of Justice noted that it could be included in the Guinness Book of Records.

At the moment, the absolute record of life expectancy belongs to a resident of France, Jeanne Calment, who died in 1997 at the age of 122 years.

As reported by EADaily, in the eastern Afghan province of Khost lives the head of a large family, Akel Nazir, who has reached the age of 140, who can also claim the status of the oldest inhabitant of the Earth.

There are about 100 people in Akel Nazir's family. He says that he was about 30 years old when Afghanistan gained independence from Great Britain (in 1919).

Nazir's relatives appealed to the authorities to officially confirm his age, since archival work is well developed in Afghanistan and documents have been stored for centuries.
