Do You Know a UK Person Aged 100 or Over? We Want to Learn Your Story.

According to recent figures, the count of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.

Between 2004 and 2024, the number of male centenarians has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the identical years, the number of female individuals reaching 100 almost doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
