Are You a British Person Aged 100 or Over? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
Based on recent statistics, the count of individuals reaching 100 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 centenarians has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. During the identical timeframe, the count of women aged 100 or over nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
