Are You a UK Centenarian? We Want to Learn Your Story.
According to latest figures, the count of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
From 2004 and 2024, the number of male individuals reaching 100 has tripled from 910 to 3,100. Over the identical timeframe, the count of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
