The oldest swedish woman,Astrid Zachrison is still in good health although she has problems with her vision and hearing she gets along just fine.In 2 weeks she will celebrate her 113th birthday.She has never smoked but occasionally had a glass of wine.She eats by herself,does all her own personal hygiene and walks with the help of a walker every day.
She repeatedly says "I thought it was impossible for a human to get this old" and she is known to have always been a very pedantic but kind woman.

The picture here shows her as a young woman.



Go Astrid!

why is there so little activity at the supercentenarian forum?

Another thing.On the grg.org's list the second oldest swedish woman Hulda Carlsson is said to have passed away aged 110 on April 22th.But there are no obituary anywhere of her and she is registered as still alive according to the online service of the national tax authority registering living swedish people. Maybe any one else here knows?

Astrid Zachrison died today on her 113th birthday.....The oldest swedish person will only be 108 years from now.....When thinking about it,in fact it's very very rare to be a supercentenarian.

It is annoying that they have no specific cause of death for her.
