TOKYO – The number of people in Japan aged 100 or older has hit a record high of more than 95,000 – almost 90 per cent of them women – government data showed on Sept 17.

As of Sept 1, Japan had 95,119 centenarians, up 2,980 year-on-year, with 83,958 of them women and 11,161 men, the health ministry said in a statement.
