    Yes, that's not that uncommon. There are about 100,000 centenarians in the US for instance. Some people live over 110 years, the record being the French Jeanne Calmant with 122 years.

    Yes, many people have lived for well over 100 years. The oldest human, according to Wikipedia, lived to be 122 years old. It is not common for this to happen, but it certainly can!

    Many people live to be over 100 and usually not over 110....Look it up in Guinnes Book of World

    Records, often in third world countries that are sparsley populated, have few cars, eat lots of greens

    and live with lots less stress.

    Sure enough - The oldest person in the world just dies at the age of 115 years old. Because of modern day medicine people are living longer and longer.
