It is often difficult to verify the ages reported, as centenarians might not have birth records to confirm their age. But the available data suggest that the U. China and India make the list mainly because of their large populations. Currently centenarians make up a very small share, proportionally, of these relatively young countries.
But they make up a larger share of the total populations of rapidly aging Japan and Italy. Today, there are 4. By comparison, in the U. By , China is expected to have the largest centenarian population, followed by Japan, the U.
Japan and Italy will have the highest proportion of centenarians to the total population. But among these top five centenarian countries, the centenarian share will grow fastest in China, where the population is expected to age rapidly in coming decades.

Which topics are covered by the "Chart of the Day"? The Statista "Chart of the Day" currently focuses on two sectors: "Media and Technology", updated daily and featuring the latest statistics from the media, internet, telecommunications and consumer electronics industries; and "Economy and Society", which current data from the United States and around the world relating to economic and political issues as well as sports and entertainment.
These and other study results strongly suggest that the genetic component of exceptional longevity gets larger and larger with increasing age and is especially high for those age years and older.
The week of July 1, , we will have a paper come out in Science that dilineates the roles of genes in exceptional longevity much more clearly media embargoed until July 1, 2 pm. Neuropsychological and Neuropathological Studies.
We perform detailed and annual neuropsychological examinations on centenarians living within hours of Boston. We also expend significant resources to disseminate our findings and to advocate for older people, providing an optimistic and enabling view of aging.
Most people have the genetic makeup to live into their mid to late eighties in very good health, and like centenarians, compress the time they are sick towards the end of their lives.
Much of their ability to do so depends upon healthy behaviors including a diet conducive to being lean, not smoking, and strength training exercise. Promoting this philosophy will have a much greater impact now on many more people than our genetic research. We will be forever beholden to Dr. Robert Butler and the International Longevity Center for their guidance and collaborations.
Why Study Centenarians? However, the centenarians we have studied do have a number of characteristics in common: Few centenarians are obese. In the case of men, they are nearly always lean. Substantial smoking history is rare. A preliminary study suggests that centenarians are better able to handle stress than the majority of people.
Some centenarians had very healthy appearing brains with neuropathological study we call these gold standards of disease-free aging.
From our studies, a woman who naturally has a child after the age of 40 has a 4 times greater chance of living to compared to women who do not.
