Japan's Record High Centenarians: Nearly 1 Lakh Over 100

Japan has the most people who are 100 years or older in the world.

In September 2025, nearly 100,000 Japanese people were over 100 years old, and most of them were women.

People think that eating traditional Japanese food and staying active helps them live longer.

But it's not just the food; it's also about living a disciplined life and staying connected with others.

This combination helps Japanese people live very long lives.
