1. Pawel Frydman (Stockholm, Stockholm County) (b. 20 June 1914 in Poland), 108 y.o. Doyen of Sweden
2. Bror Larsson (Vallda, Halland County) (b. 25 July 1914), 107 y.o.

5. Gunnar Nordfors (Amal, Västra Götaland County) (b. 21 September 1916), 105 y.o.
6. Dumitru Curta (Kalarne, Jämtland County) (b. 26 October 1916), 105 y.o.
7. Olof Rudholm (Goteborg, Västra Götaland County) (b. 30 December 1916), 105 y.o.

10. Karl Rafael Sodergrann (Sundsvall, Västernorrland County) (b. 3 December 1917), 104 y.o.

Just by his name alone, I would assume that Dumitru Curta is an immigrant from Romania, or is it possible he could've been born in Sweden to Romanian parents?

@mendocino He was not born in Sweden but has been a resident since sometime between 1970 and 1980.

Pretty cool that Sweden's OLM is Jewish even though Jews are, what, 0.1% of the total Swedish population? For that matter, Canada's OLM is Jewish as well, though Jews are a much larger percentage of the overall Canadian population (1%) than they are in Sweden. Though 1% still isn't that much.

I wonder if Jews have a genetic longevity advantage over non-Jews. Could be an interesting hypothesis to test if not too controversial. We previously had two Jewish WOLM, after all. And George Feldman just barely missed out on becoming the US's OLM in December 2018. He needed to live less than one additional month for him to get this title.
