Not sure why you get downvoted. This was even one of the winners of the ignoble prize this year https://theconversation.com/the-data-on-extreme-human-ageing-is-rotten-from-the-inside-out-ig-nobel-winner-saul-justin-newman-239023
People are generally the oldest where record keeping is the worst or where records have been lost. Doesn’t mean everyone is lying but in many cases the claimed age is not correct.
I think the downvotes came from people who find me naive and think this woman actually had her daughter at a younger age and is lying about it.
Actually, in some of these cases it turns out to be the child claiming to be the parent. So my statement was naive.
