Joking aside, isn’t that pretty much true, though? If you say someone dies of “old age”, presumably that means that absent suspicious circumstances there’s just no point in trying to ascertain a specific immediate cause.
I would say that’s the case. Tanaka had twice survived cancer so I’d suspect cancer played a role in her death. Likely some form of congestive heart failure with a build up of fluid around the heart in her weakened “old age” state. However, living to be the second oldest verified person ever is an incredible achievement.
Lucile Randon is now the worlds oldest person at 118 but she set a record in 2021…she was then the worlds oldest person to have survived Covid 19.
Well, this is the oldest that you have ever been…
And the first day of the rest of their life?
Are there charts to find out what percentage of humans live to a given age? Like 100 or above?
Apparently around 1985, “the prevalence of centenarians in industrialized countries was approximately one centenarian per 10,000 people in the population.”
And apparently about 1 in 1000 centenarians (age => 100 years) becomes a supercentenarian (age => 110 years).
Here’s an actuarial life table from the US Social Security Administration showing death probability and life expectancy at every age from 0 to 120 in a population of 100,000 individuals.
