Brazilian Sisters Aged 316 Undergo Longevity Research

The three Brazilian sisters, Levita de Deu Nune (born June 7, 1917, aged 109), Zoraid de Deu Mota (born November 24, 1921, aged 104), and Zulina de Deu Nune (born March 4, 1923, aged 103), have a remarkable combined age of 316 years, officially recognized by Guinness World Records. They reside in Cedro de São João, Sergipe, Brazil, and have attracted the attention of top scientists, including Dr.

Mayana Zatz from the University of São Paulo, who is leading a major scientific study to identify biological markers that contribute to their longevity. The sisters have lived healthy lives, marked by hard work and a diet of fresh food.

Levita managed household routines and was known for her handmade crafts, Zoraid had a career as a nurse, and Zulina learned domestic artisan skills. Their family history and lifestyle choices are being analyzed in the LongeviQuest research project to understand the factors behind their exceptional longevity and mental acuity.
