According to recent data, the population of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the figure of male centenarians has increased threefold from 910 to 3,100. During the same years, the number of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
