Living a long life is a common wish of many – and some might just get what they wish for. Life expectancies in developed and developing countries alike have been rising continuously, causing the number of people who live to 100 years to rise also.

This year, the United Nations expect the number of centenarians to rise to approximately 573,000 worldwide.

The U.S. has the highest absolute number of centenarians in the world with 97,000 living in the country. Japan comes second with 79,000 Japanese who are 100 years or older, according to World Atlas. Japan is where the world’s oldest person lives. Kane Tanaka from the Fukuoka prefecture is 116 years old, making her a so-called supercentenarian, which is a person living to or beyond the age of 110.

Japan is also the country with the highest rate of centenarians, at 6 for every 10,000 people. Uruguay, Hong Kong and Puerto Rico are home to high numbers of centenarians compared to population size as well.
