Are You a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
According to recent statistics, the count of people aged 100 and above in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the figure of male centenarians has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the same years, the amount of female individuals reaching 100 increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
