Should it be of interest, here's a list of those people born in 1800s still alive today (i.e. over 113 years old): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_surviving_1800s-born_peopl...

ps. All are from Japan, US, Italy or UK. I suspect that may be down to record keeping as much as lifestyle. For example, a friend's wife is from Turkey and doesn't know how old she is as her date of birth was never recorded; one year her parents just made a guess saying "well, you were born in summer and you look like an 8 year old, so we'll stick you down as 21st June 1965".
