There’s a cool club in town—do you want to score a membership? In order to earn the longevity status of a centenarian, you have to reach 100 years of age. According to the World Economic Forum, as of 2021, there were more than 500,000 people from all over the world 100 years of age or even older. It’s a pretty exclusive status, and we are here to share some healthy habits to live to 100 and beyond.

The World Economic Forum reveals that there are approximately 97,000 centenarians living in the United States alone, with the country housing the greatest amount of centenarians on the planet. Japan is home to the 2nd largest number of 100-year-old individuals, with 79,000 centenarians (0.06% of their population). The “oldest living human,” Kane Tanaka, lived to 119 years of age and resided in Japan. After Tanaka’s passing in April 2022, 118-year-old Lucile Randon—also known as Sister André, a nun from France—took on the title of the world’s oldest person, which has been confirmed by the Guinness World Records.

The United Nations predicts the total number of 100-year-old individuals in the world will increase to 573,000 this year. The average life expectancy in many countries has risen. Some of the other countries with high numbers of centenarians include Hong Kong, Uruguay, and Puerto Rico.
