A 116-year-old Japanese woman who loves playing the board game Othello was named Saturday as the world's oldest living person by Guinness World Records. The global authority on records officially recognized Kane Tanaka in a ceremony at the nursing home where she lives in Fukuoka, in Japan's southwest. Her family and the mayor were present to celebrate.Tanaka was born Jan. 2, 1903, the seventh among eight children. She married Hideo Tanaka in 1922, and they had four children and adopted another child.The previous oldest living person was another Japanese woman, Chiyo Miyako, who died in July at age 117.
Japanese people tend to exhibit longevity and dominate the oldest-person list. Although changing dietary habits mean obesity has been rising, it's still relatively rare in a nation whose culinary tradition focuses on fish, rice, vegetables and other foods low in fat. Age is also traditionally respected here, meaning people stay active and feel useful into their 80s and beyond.
