This statistic shows the number of people aged 100 and over (centenarians) in the United States from 2016 to 2060. In 2016, there were ****** centenarians in the United States. This figure is expected to increase to ******* in the year 2060.

This statistic shows the number of people aged 100 and over (centenarians) in the United States from 2016 to 2060, by gender. In 2016, there were ****** male centenarians in the United States, and ****** female centenarians. This figure is expected to increase to ******* and ******* respectively in the year 2060.

In general, women live longer than men. As a result, the number of women aged 100 years or more worldwide is higher than that of men, and the gap is expected to continue to increase over the coming decades. It is estimated that there will be around **** million female centenarians in 2100, compared to around *** million males.

The number of people aged 100 years or more (centenarians) worldwide is expected to increase significantly over the coming decades. While there were only ******* centenarians in 2000, this number is predicted to increase to over **** million by 2100. As people on the planet live longer, global life expectancy increases.

The modern discovery of the Australian lungfish (Neoceratodus forsteri) by European settlers in 1870 was considered one of the most important events in natural history by leading international scientists and naturalists of that time. Its distinct evolutionary lineage and unique extant morphological characteristics fostered the romantic zoological moniker “living fossil”. Although N. forsteri were suspected of being long-lived, a reliable estimate of maximum age has remained elusive. Maximum age is critical to inform wildlife management and conservation efforts, including the use of population viability models. To estimate the maximum age for N. forsteri, we sourced DNA from “Granddad”, the presumed longest-living lungfish known in a zoological park and utilised an epigenetic ageing clock developed for N. forsteri. This lungfish specimen was gifted to the Chicago John G. Shedd Aquarium from Australia in 1933 and lived there for 84 years until death in 2017. We estimated the age of Granddad at death to be 109 years (±6 years), confirming N. forsteri as a true centenarian species. Genotyping also revealed the natal origin of Granddad to be the Burnett River, Queensland, Australia, the location of the species’ original discovery in 1870. We demonstrate the application of novel molecular techniques to a unique long-lived and captive-raised specimen, to improve estimates of maximum age for the species, and to identify natal origin. This information will support future conservation efforts for this iconic yet endangered species.
