| Nguyen Thi Tru, a 122-year-old Vietnamese woman, is the world's oldest living person. |
Currently living in Ho Chi Minh City, Tru had 11 children, of which only two – both in their eighties – are alive, the Viet Nam Book of Records (Vietkings) said, while announcing the WRA statement in HCM City on April 23.
Tru has had a healthy life and has never been hospitalised for serious illnesses.
The title of being the oldest living person was previously held by a Japanese woman, Misao Okawa, who passed away on April 1 this year. — VNS
