oldest person
Longest-lived individual present
The oldest person is the one who has lived longest among some group—a family, a country, or the world.
The phrase often refers to the world's oldest living person, a title that passes to someone new every few years: The oldest person alive just turned 117.
It can also mean the eldest in any context: Who's the oldest person in your office?
