Longevity claimant

Anna Ragel (4 July 1889? - 12 September 2010) was a Belarusian longevity claimant whose age is currently unvalidated by Gerontology Research Group (GRG).

Biography

Anna Ragel claimed to have been born on 4 July 1889 in Belye, Belarus. She attributed her longevity to a good diet and hard work.

If her claimed age were true then at the time of her death on 12 September 2010 at the age of 121 years, 70 days she would have been the oldest person in the world. She also would have been the second oldest person ever behind Jeanne Calment and the last surviving person born in the 1880s as well as the only person born in the 1880s to live into the 2010s.
