Number of centenarians worldwide by gender 2100

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 15 million female centenarians in 2100, compared to around 6 million male.
