So far, the oldest person ever from Taiwan was Lin Zhaozhi (1900–2013) who died at the age of 113 years, 328 days, and the oldest known man ever from Taiwan is Yu Te-Hsin (born 1915) who currently is living at the age of 110 years, 314 days.
On this list are not listed false or exaggerated claims, while claims over 115 can go to the List of longevity claims.
