The Remarkable Life of Ethel May Caterham

At 116 years old, Ethel May Caterham holds the title of the world’s oldest person. Residing in a care facility in Surrey, England, she has achieved the status of a “supercentenarian”-someone who has reached the age of 110-without relying on any of the aforementioned books.

A Century of Experiences

Born in 1909, Caterham has witnessed significant historical events, including both world wars, the Great Depression, and groundbreaking technological advancements. She has also lived through two major pandemics: the Spanish Flu and Covid-19, which she overcame in 2020 at the age of 110. Remarkably, she has outlived her husband by 50 years and both of her daughters.

Keys to a Long and Healthy Life

Not only has Caterham lived a long life, but she also enjoys good health. She attributes her longevity to a few simple principles: avoiding arguments, embracing moderation, seizing every opportunity, and maintaining a positive mental attitude.
