Do You Know a UK Person Aged 100 or Over? We Want to Hear From You.

According to recent data, the population of centenarians in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

Between 2004 and 2024, the total of men aged 100 or over has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. Over the identical timeframe, the count of female individuals reaching 100 increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
