In today’s world, age 100 is the new 80. According to World Atlas, the U.S. has the highest number of centenarians in the world, with about 97,000 people living today over 100 years of age. Japan comes second with 79,000 citizens age 100 years or older.
Explanations for the long lives vary. The New England Centenarian Study showed genetic factors that heavily contributed to people living past the age of 100, and that individuals were four times more likely to reach at least age 90 if their siblings were centenarians. Other studies focus on biochemical factors, including a link between high levels of Vitamin A and E helping people reach the century mark. Healthy personal health habits, such as staying both physically and mentally active, also seem to be common drivers in those reaching 100.
