Perez Mora's health is fine and he doesn't take any medication, local physician Henrique Bujan as quoted by Daily Mail. Bujan said: "He seems totally fine to me."&nbsp;

Although, Perez Mora has slightly high blood pressure issues and hearing problems, which is basically due to his age.&nbsp;

His daughter Nelida Perez said as quoted by Daily Mail: "The most beautiful thing is to see him full of health every day. He does not have any disease that requires medical attention, or medicine or anything."&nbsp;

Perez Mora became the world's oldest person after Saturnino de la Fuente Garcia, who was born on Feb. 11, 1909 in Spain, died in January aged 112 years and 341 days old.&nbsp;
