World’s
oldest man dies in Japan aged 114
The secret of a
long and healthy life could lie in a daily glass of milk.
Yukichi Chuganji, who
was the world’s oldest man when he died, aged 114, at his home on the island of
Kyushu in south-west Japan on Sunday 28th October 2003, never touched alcohol, preferring a daily glass o f
milk, hard toffee, and the occasional apple juice.
The former silkworm
breeder was born in a farming village on Kyushu on March 23 1889. He later worked in a bank and as a community
welfare officer. He married in 1914 and had four sons and a daughter, seven
grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.
He was recognized
as the world's oldest man by the Guinness Book of Records in January 2002 but the
record was challenged by several claims by the Russian authorities.
In recent years he
rarely ventured from his bed, mainly because of failing eyesight. But he was
mentally alert and able to chew toffee with his own full set of teeth. And it
was in his bed that he died, just hours after uttering his final words, thanking
his daughter Kyoko, aged 72, for a glass of home made apple juice.
The oldest person
in the world, 116-year-old Kamato Hongo, lives on the southern tip of
Kyushu in Japan.There are an estimated 20,000 Japanese
centenarians, and about 80% of these, like Kamato, are women.
In a country with the longest life expectancy in the world - 85 years for women
and 78 for men - about one person in five is over 65.
The figures are
often cited as proof of the life-giving qualities of the traditional low-fat
Japanese diet of fish, vegetables, and rice. But they also point to a future population crisis for
Japan. By 2025 there will be one person over 65 for every two of
working age, making Japan the greyest society on earth.
Mr Chuganji's
predecessor as the world's oldest man was an Italian, Antonio Todde, who swore
that the secret of longevity was a daily glass of red wine. He died aged 112 in
Sardinia in January 2002. According to their families, the two men
had one thing in common: a stress-free life.
