Okawa named world’s oldest woman

A 114-year-old Japanese woman, the daughter of a kimono maker, has been recognised as the world’s oldest woman.

Misao Okawa said on Wednesday that she was ‘very happy’ to receive the recognition and a certificate from Guinness World Records, reports The Straits Times.

Asked for her secret for longevity, she said it was to ‘watch out for one’s health’.

It was a nice gift for Okawa, who will mark her 115th birthday next week.banglanews24.com
