Are You a British Person Aged 100 or Over? We Want to Hear From You.
Based on recent statistics, the count of people aged 100 and above in the UK has doubled from 8,300 in 2004 to 16,600 in 2024.
Between 2004 and 2024, the number of male individuals reaching 100 has tripled from 910 to 3,100. During the same timeframe, the number of women aged 100 or over nearly doubled from 7,400 to 13,600.
