Jean-Marie Robine

Jean-Marie Robine (born ca 1960) is a French demographer and gerontologist who is best known as being the co-validator of the Jeanne Calment case, the oldest verified supercentenarian of all time.

Robine has also been instrumental in organizing international efforts to study supercentenarians, through workshops held at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and by founding the International Database on Longevity. Robine currently has the largest European supercentenarian dataset, and also collaborates with Japanese demographer Yasuhiko Saito.
