DEFINITION: A centenarian is a person who has reached the age of 100 years. Because life expectancy 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.

What Percentage of the Population Lives to 100?
According to the Social Security Administration, the overall chances of living to 100 aren’t actually that great. And, according to the World Economic Forum, there are over 500,000 centenarians among the 7.9 billion people worldwide. That means that only a 0.006% of the population is 100 or more.
Here are a few additional facts from the most recently available information from the Society of Actuaries and the Social Security Administration:
- One out of three males and one out of two females who are in their mid-50s today will live to be 90.
- For a couple who is 65 today, there is a 50% chance that one person will be alive at 92.
- If you have lived to be 65, you will likely live another 20 years, on average.
- If you live to be 75, the average life expectancy is 88.
- If you live to be 85, the average life expectancy is 92.
- And, if you live to be 95, the average life expectancy is 98.
