After the death of 116-year-old Japanese woman Tomiko Itookki, the title of the oldest person in the world passed to a nun from Brazil, Inah Canabarro Lucas.. The woman's record was officially confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records at the age of 116 years and 210 days.. Inach is also recognized as the oldest nun in the world. Inach was born on June 8, 1908 in Sao Francisco de Assis, Brazil.. As a child, due to her poor health, many doubted that she would be able to live long. However, despite all the forecasts, she received an education, and at the age of 16 she took vows and became a nun in Uruguay. During her long teaching career, she worked in many regions of Brazil, teaching Portuguese and mathematics.. In 1980, the nun finally settled in Porto Alegre. In 2018, when Inach celebrated her 110th birthday, she received an apostolic blessing from Pope Francis. She is considered the second oldest nun in history after Lucille Rendon, who died at the age of 118..

Inach Canabarro Lucas is probably the last living person born in 1908, and one of three born in the 1900s. Let us remember that the previous record holder, Japanese Tomiko Itooka, noted her love of hiking as the secret of her longevity. Earlier it was reported that 112-year-old Joao Marinho Neto from Brazil was recognized as the new oldest man in the world.. The shortest woman in the world, Jyoti Amge, set a new record.
