As a result, experts began to consider the attributed age — 118 years — plausible. Still, the process requires caution.

Even in the face of strict requirements, experts claim that the case presents a solid foundation. Therefore, the possibility of official recognition is growing in the coming months.
Moreover, the validation may directly impact international longevity records. Consequently, Brazil could gain prominence in this type of global ranking.
Thus, the story is already beginning to attract attention outside the country. And, in light of the gathered evidence, an inevitable question arises: are we about to witness a new world record for longevity?
