Objectives  To use primary care electronic health records ( EHR s) to evaluate the health of men and women at age 100.    Design  Population‐based cohort study.    Setting  Primary care database in the United Kingdom, 1990–2013.    Participants  Individuals reaching the age of 100 between 1990 and 2013 (N = 11,084, n = 8,982 women, n = 2,102 men).    Measurements  Main categories of morbidity and an index of multiple morbidities, geriatric syndromes and an index of multiple impairments, cardiovascular risk factors.    Results  The number of new female centenarians per year increased from 16 per 100,000 in 1990–94 to 25 per 100,000 in 2010–13 ( P  < .001) and of male centenarians from four per 100,000 to six per 100,000 ( P  = .06). The most prevalent morbidities at the age of 100 were musculoskeletal diseases, disorders of the senses, and digestive diseases. Women had greater multiple morbidity than men (odds ratio ( OR ) = 1.64, 95% confidence interval ( CI ) = 1.42–1.89,  P  < .001). Geriatric syndromes, including falls, fractures, hearing and vision impairment, and dementia, were frequent; 30% of women and 49% of men had no recorded geriatric syndromes. Women had greater likelihood of having multiple geriatric syndromes ( OR  = 2.14, 95%  CI  = 1.90–2.41,  P  < .001).    Conclusion  Fewer men than women reach the age of 100, but male centenarians have lower morbidity and fewer geriatric syndromes than women. Research using  EHR s offers opportunities to understand the epidemiology of aging and improve care of the oldest old.
