Washington Post on various aspects of life in the US for centenarians:

So you want to live to 100? Some might say be careful what you wish for. But data culled from two recent reports show fairly high quality of life for the country’s 55,000 centenarians, a population that is expected to grow rapidly.

Not surprisingly, the vast majority of 100-year-olds (81 percent) are women. Also not surprisingly, most are widowed.

This story is told in 10 charts. Fascinating stuff.
