Irish-born supercentenarian Catherine Hedges says she has reached her latest longevity milestone and credits aspects of her life—including reading the Daily Mail—for her longevity. In recent reporting, Hedges shares that she has lived to the age of 110 and discusses habits and influences she associates with staying healthy.
According to the outlet, Hedges moved to England from Ireland in 1944, when the Second World War is still underway. She says she has read the Mail nearly every day since relocating, framing the newspaper as part of her routine. The stories also mention broader themes commonly linked to longevity, such as diet and spending time outdoors, though the emphasis in the coverage is on Hedges’s personal anecdote about her long-term reading habit.
Both articles present the same core claims: Hedges reaches a new milestone, discusses how she attributes her long life to lifestyle factors, and recounts a decades-long relationship with the Daily Mail beginning with her move in 1944.
