Carioca Dona Deolira Glicéria is 2 years older than the Spanish woman considered the oldest person in the world by the Guinness Book
A Brazilian may be the oldest person in the world! This is because, according to art book of records, the longest living human being, currently, is the Spanish woman Maria Branyas Morera, who turned 116 on March 4. However, the carioca Dona Deolira118 years old, was born on March 10, 1905, in the city of Porciúncula, in the northwest of the state of Rio de Janeiro.
The title given to Dona Maria, however, is recent. She was recognized by the organization after the death of the French Sister Andre118 years old, in January 2022.
In an interview given to InterTVthe geriatrician and the psychiatrist Juair de Abreu Pereiraaccompanying Deolira, said that some crucial points help the elderly woman with longevity: stress control, healthy eating and faith are some of them.

Dona Deolira has been living for 6 months in Itaperuna, 40 km from her hometown, where her family takes care of her. She is the only survivor of three sisters. She had seven children.
