Chiyo Miyako was born May 2, 1901 in Wakayama in the Kansai region of Japan. According to Guinness, she loved calligraphy and food, especially sushi. The husband of the woman worked for the Japanese railways so that both could travel throughout the country throughout his life.

Miyako became the oldest person in the world in April 2015 after the death of Nabi Tajima, a 117-year-old man born in 1900. Now, the oldest woman of the world lives in the Japanese city of Fukuoka and is 115 years old.

Japan tops the list of elderly people. According to a February 2018 report, 69,000 people in the United States live more than 100 years, including 9,000 men and 60,000 women.

The eldest person in the history of humanity lived in France and died in Canada. She was 122 years old in 1997. She met Vinent Van Gogh in her childhood and testified that the most important event in her life, with the exception of the two world wars, was the Russian Revolution of 1917

Miyako became the 8th oldest person in the world. If she had turned 118, she would have become the third eldest. There are also people who claim to be older than officially registered, but this information can not be verified because there are no documents. This is the case of Koku Istamnulova, a woman who claims to be 129 years old and who considers her long life as "a punishment of God".
