People aged 65 and older
In 2022, 12.7 million people in the UK were aged 65 or older, which is 19% of the population. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) projects that this number will increase to 22.1 million by 2072, or 27% of the population.
People aged 80 and older
The number of people aged 85 and older in the UK is almost three times what it was 40 years ago. The number of people aged 80 and older is expected to more than double over the next 40 years.
