A centenarian is a person who has reached the age of 100 years.
Because life expectancies worldwide are below 100 years, the term is
invariably associated with longevity. In 2012, the United Nations
estimated that there were 316,600 living centenarians
worldwide.Expectancy is increasing across the world, and the world
population has also increased rapidly, the number of centenarians is
expected to increase quickly in the future. According to the UK ONS,
one-third of babies born in 2013 in the UK are expected to live to
100.A supercentenarian, sometimes hyphenated as super-centenarian, is
a human who has reached the age of 110, something only achieved by
about one in 1,000 centenarians.
