Very few. WWI ended in about 1918. A soldier who was 18 at that time would be 107 right now. According to Wikipedia, there are about 30 left world-wide. USA has about 4.

Actually there was a big announcment on AFN last year (Armed Forces Network), that the last known living American WW1 Vet had died at his home in Florida. There might be others that are listed from other countries but they would be well into their hundreds now.

I would be surprised if any are still alive. WW1 ended 1918 (?) If you were 18 when you enlisted right at the end of the war, means you were born around 1900. That would make you at least 107 years old.
