Wanna live to 100 and beyond?

MP900442402[1]You are in good company.  According to the 2011 census centenarians are one of the fastest growing demographic groups in Canada. To be precise, there were 5,825 Canadians aged 100 or older last year. As life expectancy is expected to increase, there could be close to 80,000 Canadians over the age of 100 in 2061. Is this an anomaly? Not at all, the world's population of centenarians is projected to reach nearly 6 million by midcentury.
