Meet Ana, 18 years old Asian girl with a 144-year-old woman's body

Ana

Ana Rochelle Pondare just turned 18 years old yesterday. She celebrated her birthday in a princess style. Ana is suffering from a rare genetic condition called Progeria. The Progeria causes her body to age ten times faster than the normal. She now has the body of a 144-year-old woman, according to doctors. She has been tagged, ''The oldest woman in Asia''.

This condition manifested itself when Ana was 5 years old. Children with Progeria don’t live above 15 and they die. So it is a plus for Ana to have lived to be 18. All her past birthday celebrations were done in a grand style.
