According to his birth certificate, Aguinelo Jose dos Santos is the oldest person who has ever been documented. But to be very sure, the manager of the retirement home where he lives in Brazil wants to conduct a “carbon-14” test to determine his exact age.

His health is described as perfectly good and he no high cholesterol nor high blood pressure. However, Aguinelo Jose dos Santos has smoked for 50 years, and does not bathe regularly.
