The maximum verified age for a man is 116 years and 54 days.
This age was attained by Jiroemon Kimura of Japan, who lived from April 19, 1897, to June 12, 2013. While anecdotal evidence suggests some individuals may have lived longer, Kimura's age is the oldest confirmed lifespan for any male individual in recorded history.
It's important to distinguish between lifespan potential and actual lifespan. While theoretically, advances in medicine and lifestyle could extend human lifespan, currently, verified instances of extreme old age remain rare. Kimura's case highlights the exceptional nature of reaching such an advanced age.
The following table provides details about Jiroemon Kimura:
| Name | Jiroemon Kimura |
|---|---|
| Birth Date | April 19, 1897 |
| Death Date | June 12, 2013 |
| Age at Death | 116 years, 54 days |
| Country | Japan |
While life expectancy continues to increase globally, surpassing Kimura's verified age remains a significant challenge. Research into aging and longevity aims to understand the factors contributing to exceptional lifespans and potentially extend the average human lifespan in the future.
In summary, the longest definitively proven lifespan for a man is 116 years and 54 days, achieved by Jiroemon Kimura.
