Do You Know a British Centenarian? We Want to Hear From You.
Based on latest data, the number of centenarians in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the total of male individuals reaching 100 has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the identical timeframe, the number of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
