UK researcher questions accuracy of data on centenarians, citing issues in record-keeping from poor regions.

A researcher from University College London claims that data on people living to over 100 years, including the so-called "blue zones," is often inaccurate. His study found that many long-lived individuals come from areas with poor health and high poverty, suggesting issues with record-keeping. The researcher argues that physically measuring ages is crucial for verifying claims of extreme longevity, challenging the reliability of the data in these regions known for having a high number of centenarians.
