Centenarians in Japan Are Set To Number over 50,000 for the First Time
September 14, 2012; Tokyo (Kyodo) - The number of people in Japan aged 100 or older is
expected to again set a new record this year, topping 50,000 for the first time, a health ministry
survey ahead of Respect for the Aged Day showed Friday.
The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry survey, conducted annually since 1963, showed
that centenarians are projected to total 51,376 as of Sept. 15, up 3,620 from a year earlier,
marking the 42nd consecutive year of increase.
Women accounted for a record 87.3 percent of all centenarians this year. They numbered
44,842, up 3,248 from a year earlier. Male centenarians totaled 6,534, up 372. It was the 42nd
straight year of rise for women and 32nd consecutive year of increase for men.
Japan's oldest person is Jiroemon Kimura, a 115-year-old man from Kyotango,
Kyoto Prefecture. He was born April 19, 1897. He is currently recognized as the world's oldest
male by The Guinness Book of Records.
The country's oldest woman is Koto Okubo, a 114-year-old from Kawasaki,
Kanagawa Prefecture. She was born December 24, also in 1897.
For the survey, the Ministry on September 1st compiled the number of people expected to be
100 or older as of September 15th based on resident registry records across Japan. This year's
Respect for the Aged day falls on September 17th.
The number of people who are to turn 100 in the current fiscal year through March 31, 2013,
is estimated at 25,823, up 871 from the previous year, according to the survey.
There were an average 40.20 centenarians per 100,000 people nationwide. By prefecture,
Kochi had the highest ratio, at 78.50, recapturing the top spot after 40 years. It was followed by
Shimane at 77.81, and Yamaguchi at 67.27.
In contrast, the prefectures with the lowest ratios of centenarians were Saitama at 23.09,
Aichi at 25.49, and Chiba at 28.23.
The health ministry said, "Places such as Kochi are experiencing both the aging of
population and depopulation, while Saitama and some other prefectures are seeing increases in
overall populations."
The number of centenarians in Japan totaled 153 in 1963 when the survey began. It took 35
years to top 10,000 in 1998. The count then grew rapidly, surpassing 20,000 in 2003, 30,000 in
2007 and 40,000 in 2009.
