BIOGRAPHY

Yukie Takahashi was born in Japan on 4 January 1913. Even after turning 100, she remained physically strong and could climb stairs with ease. However, after breaking her femur at around the age of 105, she moved into a nursing home.

On 19 September 2021, the mayor of Akiruno City visited the nursing home to honor her longevity and recognize her as the city’s oldest resident.

RECOGNITION

Her age was verified by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW), as well as Yu Li, Ryohei Asano and Yumi Yamamoto, and validated by LongeviQuest on 28 September 2024.
