Rise of the centenarians: Number of people over the age of 100 increases FIVE-FOLD in 30 years
In 1981 there were 2,420 people aged 100 or over in England and Wales
By 2012 the figure was 12,320, with 610 thought to be aged 105 or over
The number of people over the age of 90 has tripled since 1981 - they now make up nearly one per cent of the total population of England and Wales

The over-55s who are in denial about their health: One in five say they are staying away from their GP

Six out of 10 over 55s admit to weight gain and joint problems

Many think they are healthier than they are and avoid doctors' surgeries

What's YOUR 'body age'? Average Briton's body is four years OLDER than its real age because of poor diet and lack of exercise

British Adults are, on average, four years and 37 days older, research by private medical insurer PruHealth with Vitality found
Bad habits - such as drinking, smoking, and binge eating - combine with stress to accelerate the body's natural ageing process
