UK's 90+ population hits record 625,240 in 2024, with men's share rising due to faster life expectancy gains.
The UK's population aged 90 and over reached a record 625,240 in 2024, up from 406,870 in 2004, with men making up a growing share—33.7%—due to faster gains in male life expectancy.
The number of men aged 90+ more than doubled since 2004, while women in that group rose by a third.
Centenarians doubled to 16,650, with men’s share rising from 10.9% to 18.4%.
The overall centenarian rate reached 24.0 per 100,000, highest in Wales at 25.9, with lower regional rates attributed to younger populations from higher fertility, not lower longevity.
The trend is linked to long-term improvements in public health, medical care, and living standards.
