Do You Know a British Centenarian? We Want to Learn Your Story.
According to recent figures, the count of centenarians in the UK has grown by 100% from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the number of male centenarians has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. Over the same period, the amount of women aged 100 or over increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
