A cup of olive oil a day, keeps the doctor away...
A woman in Israel has outlived most official record-keeping, and for that reason Mariam Amash's real age may never be truly known.
However, her newly issued identity card shows she was born in 1888, making her twice as old as the country she lives in.
David Chater reports.
The oldest women living at the age 130
This old lady is walking history...
i cant imagine myself living that long...
Seems like she took good care of her life very well to be a 130
She may have no birth certificate but her oldest daughter is in her 70 so there is no point of rejecting that she is 130
Oldest Woman in the World
A Kazakh lady, Sakhan Dosova, will mark her 130th birthday on March 27.
Dosova lives in a small town of Prishakhtinsk, in central Kazakhstan, has 11 children and 37 grandchildren and great grandchildren.
According to Nuken Alkeshova, her granddaughter who takes care of her, the last national census several years ago revealed that her grandmother was the oldest citizen in the country -- and if true, the oldest citizen in the world by 16 years.
Alkeshova put her longevity down to eating cottage cheese and not eating sweets, and in an interview with RFE/RL's Kazakh Service certainly doesn't put it down to the $110 a month state pension she receives.
It's incredibly difficult to deny or support her claim. Dosova has both a Soviet-era passport and Kazakh identification card.
In the Russian and Soviet empires, the combination of non-Russian speaking locals and non-Kazakh speaking provincial officials meant bureaucratic errors were common.
Because of the distances involved in getting from remote parts of the steppe to regional capitals, documents like birth certificates were often processed every few years in mass batches thus widening the margins of bureaucratic error.
