Turning 100 in Britain gets you a message from the queen. Centenarians in Japan get a commemorative silver cup for drinking sake—or, at least, they used to. This month the health ministry said it would stop issuing the cups because Japan’s super-ageing population has made the tradition too expensive for the statehttp://econ.st/1UV9DeZ

My Life in Hotels

A supercentenarian (sometimes hyphenated as super-centenarian) is a person who has reached the age of 110 years. This age is achieved by about one in 1,000 centenarians.^[1] Supercentenarians typically live a life free of major age-related diseases until shortly before the maximum human lifespan is reached.^[2][3]

The term "Supercentenarian", originally hyphenated as Super-centenarian, has existed since 1870.^[4][5]

The terminology "Ultracentenarian", has also been used to describe someone over 100 years.

Norris McWhirter, editor of Guinness World Records, used the term in association with age claim's researcher A. Ross Eckler Jr. in 1976, and the term was further popularised in 1991 by William Strauss and Neil Howe in their book Generations.

The term "semisupercentenarian", has been used to describe someone from 105-109. Originally the term "supercentenarian" was used to mean someone well over the age of 100, but 110 years and over became the cutoff point of accepted criteria for demographers.
