Excerpt: Longevity myths are traditions about long-lived people (generally supercentenarians), either as individuals or groups of people, and practices that have been believed to confer longevity, but for which scientific evidence does not support the ages claimed or the reasons for the claims. The phrase 'longevity tradition' may include 'purifications, rituals, longevity practices, meditations, and alchemy' that have been believed to confer greater human longevity, especially in Chinese culture. In fall 1955, Guinness World Records began maintaining a list of the verified oldest people that developed into a list of all supercentenarians that had been verified with three documents in a standard process. Unverified cases ('claims' or 'traditions') that have not been controverted by reliable sources vary widely in their plausibility as determined by reliable demographic data. While no firm distinction exists, cases with complete birthdates and deathdates, or with last updates within the Guinness era, are easier to present in tabular format, while incomplete cases last updated prior to fall 1955 are easier to present in narrative format (below). An essay appearing in many editions of Guinness World Records in the 1980s lists four categories of recent claims: 'In late life, very old people often tend to advance their ages at the rate of about 17 years per decade . Several celebrated super-centenarians (over 110 years) are believed to have been double lives (father and son, relations with the same names or successive bearers of a title) . A number of instances have been commercially sponsored, while a fourth category of recent claims are those made for political ends .' Guinness implies other (historical) categories of longevity traditions to exist as well; this distinction is elaborated in more detail in Lucian Boia's 2004 book Forever Young: A Cultural History of Longevity from Antiquity to the Present. Both Arthur Custance and demographers Jacques Vallin and France M 44 pp. Englisch.
