The number of Americans over the age of 100 is expected to quadruple over the coming decades - and scientists are only now starting to understand what allows these super-agers to outlive most of us. There are an estimated 101,000 centenarians in the U.S. as of January 2024 and predictions from the Pew Research Center indicate that figure will more than quadruple to 422,000 in 30 years.And it's not just as simple as a growing population with centenarians currently making up just 0.03 percent of the overall U.S. population, and they are expected to reach 0.1 percent in 2054.
