World’s oldest person wonders about secret to longevity too

Misao Okawa, the world’s oldest person, as recognised by Guinness World Records, says 117 years doesn’t seem like such a long time.

Asked for the secret of her longevity, she responded nonchalantly, “I wonder about that too.”

Misao Okawa made the comment on Wednesday, at a celebration a day before her 117th birthday. Okawa was born in Osaka on March 5, 1898. — PTI
