It's quite interesting, but among Europeans and Americans as a whole, men appear to underperform relative to what would be expected of them. There are 5 114+ year-old European women but only 2 111+ year-old European men.

UR. Ilie Ciocan (b. 10 June 1913), 111, 🇷🇴 Romania European Oldest Living Man

In regards to Ilie Ciocan, what I'm especially interested in is whether he will break Stanislaw Kowalski's all-time oldest validated Eastern European male record in slightly over 1.5 months' time as well as whether he will become the first validated Eastern European man to reach age 112+. Currently, I think that it's more likely than not that he'll indeed be able to do it. Surviving a hip fracture at age 111 truly is quite extraordinary.
