Maria Branyas Morera

supercentenarian Spain

Maria Branyas Morera was an American-born Spanish supercentenarian, recognized as the world's oldest living person before her death at age 117 in August 2023. Born on March 4, 1907, in San Francisco, she lived through significant historical events, including two world wars and the COVID-19 pandemic, which she survived asymptomatically. Her remarkable longevity was attributed to a combination of 'luck and good genetics,' and recent studies revealed that her unique genes allowed her cells to behave as if they were 17 years younger. Branyas led a healthy lifestyle, adhering to a Mediterranean diet and maintaining strong family connections, which contributed to her extended life and mental clarity.
