Top 10 European Oldest Living Men - Lists https://globalsupercentenarianforum.com/index.php/community/lists/top-10-european-oldest-living-men/ A community for fans of supercentenarians! en-US Sun, 16 Aug 2026 09:40:14 +0000 wpForo 60 RE: Top 10 European Oldest Living Men https://globalsupercentenarianforum.com/index.php/community/lists/top-10-european-oldest-living-men/paged/5/#post-45422 Fri, 19 Jun 2026 20:31:11 +0000

@diego According to data available on Gerontology Wiki, regarding all European men who lived 109 years old or more, I was able to reconstruct the top 10 European oldest living men lists from the beginning of 2021. For almost two months, Portugal had three names on this list, a great record for a small country like Portugal! Since the passing of Mr. Arnold Leissler (21 May 1911 - 13 March 2021), a German-born Polish man, on 13 March 2021, Portugal has had 3 men in the top 10 oldest living men in Europe:

Thank you very much, it was better than we expected. Three Portuguese people on the list is an excellent number for Portugal and for any country. 30% of the list is a very good percentage in a continent with so many countries.

However, I do believe it was most likely in 2021, since supercentenarians Joaquim Valente and Albano Andrade both died that year (on 10 May and 29 June respectively), and so did semi-supercentenarian Alberto Andrade, younger brother of Albano Andrade (on 8 October).

Your contribution is very welcome, I just didn't include it as well because I wasn't sure, I only added the information after the tables started being released here.
Thank you very much for bringing this data.
But I also believe that was the last time..
@musicotic, @ale76,@Gabriel_PT do you know if this was the last time we had two Portuguese people on this list?
Or can anyone reading this confirm if this was the last time we had two Portuguese people in the top 10?
