Dominicans yesterday celebrated the birthday of the World’s oldest living person Elizabeth (Ma Pampo) Israel who turned 128 even as establishment vowed to increase pressure on Guinness World record official to officially confer the title on the Dominican.
At the age of 128, Elizabeth (Ma Pampo) Israel is considered the World’s oldest living individual. Born in Portsmouth, Dominica, and the daughter of slaves, she started working on a plantation at the age of 25 and retired 79 years subsequently. Ma Pampoo ascribes her longevity to her diet--including lots of dumplings and bush tea. She has survived her husband and two children. Her birthdate be stated at Jan; 27,1875.
There are at least seventeen centenarians contained by Dominica (with four residing in close proximity to Ma Pampo), from a population of 70,000 making it the country next to the highest concentration of centenarians per 1000 of the population. Dominica’s pristine, largely untouched and unspoilt environment, which lies largely unpolluted, have been cited as the fundamental reason for longevity on the Island.
