Medicare celebrates 35th anniversary, 70,000 Americans now centarians (2000).
70,000 for 300,000,000 or .00023%
In Japan: (CBS)
Okinawa, Japan's southernmost chain of islands, has the highest concentration 54 for every 100,000 people, well above a nationwide average of 22 per 100,000 for Japan
The ratio for the United States was about 18 in 100,000, according to the 2000 census. (Medicares is higher)
So 180-220 per million is a developed world figure.
Figure also that it is now 2007 and the actual number that are 107-8 is perhaps 1-3 per million, not many left from 1899-1900.
Look how few WWI veterans exist: just serveral in the world
in each country, think France lost the last a few weeks ago.

The oldest living person just died (well, I guess that happens every day but is not so intensely covered). She was born in 1892, the same year Lizzie Borden murdered her father and stepmother. There are precious few Great War veterans left, so I think you have to wait less than a decade to answer: zero
