Centenarian

Centenarian is a human term used for an individual that has lived to or beyond 100 years of age. A super-centenarian is a human term used for an individual who has lived past 110 years of age.

Prior to first contact with the Vulcans in 2063, it was rare for humans to live to even 100 years of age, much less past that. Only about one in six thousand humans made it to the age of 100, and only about one in seven million humans lived to or past the age of 110.

Following first contact as conditions improved on Earth humans began to live longer. Famed early Starfleet Captain and former United Federation of Planets President Jonathan Archer lived to the age of 132 before dying in 2245.

By the 24th century it had become much more common for humans to live a century or more. Many Starfleet officers remained on active duty well past their 100th birthdays. Such officers included Nyota Uhura, Hikaru Sulu, Elias Vaughn, Pavel Chekov, and Leonard McCoy. The Federation official Nilz Baris also lived well past the age of 100, and was still alive in the 2370s.
