A supercentenarian (sometimes hyphenated as super-centenarian) is someone who has reached the age of 110 years or more, something achieved by only one in a thousand centenarians (based on European data). Furthermore, only 2% of supercentenarians live to be 115. The term has been around at least since the 1870s (although a competing term, "ultracentenarian," was sometimes also used). Early references tend to mean simply "someone well over 100" but the 110-and-over cutoff is the accepted criterion of demographers.
