Do You Know a British Centenarian? We Want to Learn Your Story.

Based on latest data, the population 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 tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the identical period, the number of female centenarians nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
