centenarian A centenarian is a person who has attained the age of 100 years or more. The term is associated with longevity because average life expectancies across the world are far from 100.

Centenarian
A centenarian is a person who has attained the age of 100 years or more. The term is associated with longevity due to the fact that average life expectancies across the world are still far from 100. Much rarer, a supercentenarian is a person who has lived to the age of 110 or more. Reaching an old age has fascinated people for ages. According to the Bible, Methuselah lived to be 969 years old ( Genesis 5:27). Today some maintain that the unusually high longevity of Biblical patriarchs are the result of an error in translation: lunar cycles were mistaken for the solar ones, and the actual ages are 13.5 times less. This gives 72 years for Methuselah, which is still an impressive number, bearing in mind the life expectancy of these times. This theory however, seems doubtful to others since patriarchs such as Mahalalel (ibid 5:15) and Enoch (ibid 5:21) were said to have become fathers after 65 "years." If the lunar cycle theory were accepted this would translate to an age of about 4 years and 10 months. Some of the (nonapocryphal) claimants to longevity records are (see also: "Known for attaining high age" below):

    Part 4: Manuscript Diaries and Papers from the China Records Project at Yale Divinity Library In 1968, the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA initiated a China Records Project. The aim of this project was to ensure the preservation of the personal records of former missionaries to China and provide a central repository where these papers would be available to historians. The Yale Divinity School Library was chosen in 1969 and has continued to solicit and accept China-related papers for the past two decades. of our ongoing series China Through Western Eyes contains a variety of material kept at Yale Divinity School Library, covering many aspects of life in China, historical, political, cultural and religious. Part 4 covers over fifty individual collections describing life in China from 1871 to 1951. Containing journals, manuscripts and documents detailing not only missionary activity in China but also day-to-day living in the country these papers provide a unique insight into many aspects of life in China. It is particularly strong in describing the relative successes of differing denominations undertaking missionary work in China in the nineteenth century, the role of medical work in establishing good working relations in China, the special problems faced by female missionaries, the Rape of Nanking (1937), life in China under Japanese rule, China under Chiang Kai-Shek and the relentless march of communism that drove most missionaries out of China between 1949 and the mid-fifties.

    Centenarian
    A centenarian is a person who has attained the age of 100 years or more. The term is associated with longevity due to the fact that average life expectancies across the world are still far from 100. Much rarer, a supercentenarian is a person who has lived to the age of 110 or more. Reaching an old age has fascinated people for ages. According to the Bible, Methuselah lived to be 969 years old ( Genesis 5:27). Today some maintain that the unusually high longevity of Biblical patriarchs are the result of an error in translation: lunar cycles were mistaken for the solar ones, and the actual ages are 13.5 times less. This gives 72 years for Methuselah, which is still an impressive number, bearing in mind the life expectancy of these times. This theory however, seems doubtful to others since patriarchs such as Mahalalel (ibid 5:15) and Enoch (ibid 5:21) were said to have become fathers after 65 "years." If the lunar cycle theory were accepted this would translate to an age of about 4 years and 10 months. Some of the (nonapocryphal) claimants to longevity records are (see also: "Known for attaining high age below):
