Do You Know a UK Person Aged 100 or Over? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
According to latest statistics, the population of centenarians in the UK has grown by 100% from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the total of male individuals reaching 100 has tripled from 910 to 3,100. Over the identical period, the amount of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
