Are You a British Centenarian? We'd Love to Learn Your Story.
According to recent statistics, the population of people aged 100 and above in the UK has grown by 100% from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the total of male individuals reaching 100 has tripled from 910 to 3,100. Over the same period, the count of female individuals reaching 100 increased by nearly 100% from 7,400 to 13,600.
