100 not out: new study hopes to tap into the secrets of centenarians »
It used to be a very exclusive club, but centenarians – people aged 100 years or more – are one of the fastest-growing demographics in much of the western world. Indeed, the number of centenarians around the world is projected to increase to 2.2 million by 2050, compared with 145,000 in 1999. The Office for National Statistics midyear estimates (2006) show that we have 9,000 centenarians in the United Kingdom.
