The age of Jeanne Louise Calment, the Frenchwoman famous for having survived 122 years until she passed away in 1997, is being questioned by a new document that argues that she may have had another outdated method of reaching an age: falling short.
It is currently being investigated whether the elderly woman, who was taken as an example to obtain lifestyle advice on how to reach old age: riding a bicycle to 100 years; marry someone who will pay your bills; eat two pounds of chocolate per week; rub the olive oil on your skin; Among other tips, she was actually the age by which she obtained records.
Nikolay Zak, a researcher at the Moscow Center for Continuing Mathematical Education, published an article titled "Jeanne Calment: The Secret of Longevity" on ResearchGate, a social networking site for researchers, which postulates that Calment, who died in 1997, did not It was Jeanne, but it was her daughter, Yvonne, who was only 99 years old. (The document has not yet been reviewed and although it is available on ResearchGate it does not indicate that it has been accepted for publication anywhere).
According to the New York Times, Yvonne died of pneumonia in 1934, leaving her husband and daughter behind. Zak theorizes that it was actually Jeanne who died in 1934, and that Yvonne, her daughter, assumed Jeanne's identity to avoid paying inheritance taxes.
According to several reports, the evidence presented is circumstantial. The photos in which mother and daughter appear have been used as a circumstantial measure.
Zak also notes that when Yvonne passed away, according to official records, she left her husband of 42 years, Joseph Charles Frédéric Billot, and a son. Billot never remarried; instead, he moved in with "Jeanne" and the two raised their son together. Of course, according to Zak's theory, the bereaved Billot could have gotten along so well with his mother-in-law "Jeanne" because she was actually his wife Yvonne.
Jean-Marie Robine, a longevity expert who studied Calment in his later years and co-authored the 1998 biography Jeanne Calment: From Van Gogh's Time to Ours, 122 Extraordinary Years was not impressed by the theory. "This is all completely unstable and based on nothing," he told Le Parisien, adding that conspiracy theorists have questioned the validity of Jeanne Calment's "super centennial" status, but have not provided sufficient scientific evidence to prove it. "I am ready to continue the debate."
While questioning whether Calment told the truth or not, she became a French heroine.
