Tamiko Honda, a 90-year-old McDonald's employee, says that work is the key to her health.
"I have never missed a shift due to illness. Coming to work and talking with young people keeps me lively," she told local outlet Mainichi.
Nearly one-third of Japan is aged 65 and up, making it the world's oldest population.

At 90, Tamiko Honda is the oldest female employee at McDonald's Japan, per local news reports. But she's not ready to hang up her work boots just yet.
