Abstract: Even in countries with very good statistical systems, routine population statistics that cover individuals of very high ages are often problematic, as the proportion of erroneous cases increases sharply with age. The desire to measure human mortality at extreme ages was the main motivation for the establishment of the International Database on Longevity (IDL). The IDL is a uniquely valuable source of information on extreme human longevity. It provides high-quality age-validated individual-level data on the age… Show more

“…Furthermore, there is always the possibility of age-attainment bias influencing the data, despite the best efforts of the IDL. As pointed out by Jdanov, Shkolnikov, and Gellers-Barkmann (2021), the enactment of new regulations will make the accurate collection and publication of supercentenarian records more challenging, since more and more records may be removed or excluded from the database as time progresses.…”

“…A complete set of overall and sex-specific counts for the IDL countries can be found in the Appendix Table A-1. IDL v3 improved upon previous versions by adding additional supercentenarian records from existing countries and one additional country (Austria), and by removing data from Australia that may have exhibited age-attainment bias. Unfortunately, there were also records removed from the IDL due to new privacy regulations, specifically for supercentenarians from Switzerland and Italy (Jdanov, Shkolnikov, and Gellers-Barkmann 2021; Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research 2020).…”

“…The only conclusion we can reach for now is that Gavrilova and colleagues have not proved that to be the case. We hope that future research on the updated data from the IDL that is about to be released (Gampe 2018, andJdanov et al 2018 in this volume) will shed light on the mortality trajectories of supercentenarians.…”

“…Michael Pearce and Adrian E. Raftery expect that record will be broken in the coming decades rigorously verified death records for supercentenarians. 10 Although we are confident of the accuracy of these records, they are limited in size and certainly incomplete. Due to record-keeping limitations, only supercentenarians from 13 countries could be included: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, England and Wales, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United States.…”
