LongeviQuest Confirms Teresa Fernández Casado, 112, as Spain's Oldest Living Person

Formal age verification places the León villager in Europe's top ten, ranking 50th worldwide.

Overview

  • LongeviQuest validated her age, confirming her as Spain’s oldest living person; she was born on 29 July 1913 and has spent her life in the same house in Zambroncinos del Páramo, León.
  • The confirmation followed the 11 November death of Angelina Torres Vallbona, with a letter to her family recognizing the title retroactively.
  • The updated ranking lists her among the ten oldest validated people in Europe and at number 50 globally.
  • Her family reports she is in good condition, takes only a cholesterol pill, and a hospital admission two years ago found no prior clinical record.
  • She raised seven children, six still living, with son Ángel, 93, noted for having his mother alive, as Spain counts about 13,919 female centenarians according to the INE.
