@independentthinker indeed, it makes it even more impressive. Far more…that’s why I wanted to highlight my small point.

@independentthinker That is not the right comparison. The right comparison is comparing the country’s populations at the time when the supercentenarians were born. In 1900, Panama had a population similar to Luxembourg (250 000). Belgium itself could be compared to Argentina (6 millions VS 4 million). I have seen a lot of people comparing the countries with their current population but that isn’t realistic.

You're right. I should be more thorough next time. Nevertheless, comparing Panama's population to Belgium's in 1900 strenghthens even more what I wrote previously ;)

@independentthinker True, but let's remember the differences between Belgian and Panamanian climate and 20th century history.

Congratulations to the LAS team for this great validation!

Impressive to see a 114 yo lady in Panama! In comparison, Belgium, a more populated country, has never produced a 113 yo person yet!

She was also most likely the oldest living person in Latin America at the time of her death.
