Do You Know a British Person Aged 100 or Over? We'd Love to Hear From You.
According to recent figures, the population of individuals reaching 100 in the UK has increased twofold from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the total of male centenarians has grown by 200% from 910 to 3,100. Over the same period, the number of female individuals reaching 100 nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
