The research looked at how many centenarians lived in each part of the country over a 12-year period.
The south east of England was found to be the area with the highest number of residents aged over 100.

The research found areas in the countryside or by the sea could have a higher number of centenarians as Britons relocate as they age.
This comes as a 102-year-old doctor shared advice for a longer life.
She explained keeping the mind and body active is important over the years.
Drinking lots of water, eating fresh vegetables and avoiding foods that don’t agree with you can boost longevity, she suggested.
