Though this is a small sample and just one snap-shot, it tends to further underpin annual mortality rates closer to 60% than 50%, for the very senior supercentenarians.

As many will know, the conversion rate from 114-115 reflects mortality rates nearer 65%.

This actually shows that the mortality rates are lower than usual because 8/15 still alive after a year means a 7/15 mortality rate which is below 50%. In some aspects we've been lucky since January 2023 (maybe the luck ended in January and February of this year. Remember that the top five stayed the same from January to December 2023, there was a period of five months with no top ten deaths (unless you count Kame Uema), and the European top five has stayed the same since Randon's death
