I think the whole centenarian/supercentenarian data will improve massively in the developed world once we reach the 2040s and 2050s. Almost all American and European Baby Boomers have birth certificates and other documentation like school records, plus many have baby or kid pictures. A supercentenarian from today had to be born 1914 or before, back when documentation was more sketchy and in many cases non-existent like he exemplified by the Okinawa poor records.
I didn't say anything about them living to 100, just that even if most of them die before 100 it will still provide valuable info on longevity because they have more documentation than their elders.

I'd imagine the data is already great, but life insurance companies don't want to share.
