Are You a UK Centenarian? We Want to Hear From You.
Based on latest statistics, the count of people aged 100 and above in the UK has grown by 100% from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the figure of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. Over the same years, the amount of female centenarians nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
