The GRG announces a second validation to, that of Hide Endo. Hide was born in Japan on January 13th 1913. At 108 years of age, Hide could still read the newspapers daily. Since December 2022, she has been the oldest person in Shizuoka City, where she still currently lives. Her 111th birthday is fast approaching!
Her age was verified by MHLW, Japan and Tokuyo Tomoe, later accepted by the GRG on November 24th 2023.
The Gerontology Research Group (GRG) is a global non-profit dedicated to validating, recording, and researching supercentenarians — those aged 110 or older. Founded in 1990, we focus on human longevity, healthy aging, and studying the lives of the world’s oldest people.
Our work requires significant funding for research, travel, and maintaining our website. Any financial support would greatly aid our mission to advance the understanding of human longevity.
If you wish to support our research financially, please donate to our efforts, but only if you can afford it. We would greatly appreciate even a symbolic support. Thank you!
