Japan sets record of nearly 100,000 people aged over 100.

Getty Images People in Japan tend to have healthier diets, lower prevalence of common diseases, and a culture of group exercise.

The number of people in Japan aged 100 or older has risen to a record high of nearly 100,000, its government has announced.

Setting a new record for the 55th year in a row, the number of centenarians in Japan was 99,763 as of September, the health ministry said on Friday.

The oldest person in Japan is 114-year-old Shigeko Kagawa, a woman from Yamatokoriyama, a suburb of the city Nara.

In the 1960s, Japan's population had the lowest proportion of people aged over 100 of any G7 country - but that has changed remarkably in the decades since.

When its government began the centenarian survey in 1963, there were 153 people aged 100 or over. »

### 'Holy S**t': Trump's Outrageously False Claim Gets Hit With Immediate Fact-Check

His latest claim faces a similar problem: For him to be correct, most of the U.S population ― currently about 340 million ― would be dead.

That’s a decline from recent years past; More than 110,000 died in 2023, but the number has never approached the totals Trump claimed.

Globally, some 600,000 people die each year from drug use, according to the World Health Organization, or 0.2% of the number Trump claimed. »
