"According to local government data, Tianjin's aging level is ranked third in the country following Shanghai and Beijing," said Guo Ning, deputy head of the office.


There were 358 centenarians in the city at the end of 2014, according to the office.


Among those above 60, more than 140,000 were unable to care for themselves, said Guo.


The number of people aged 60 or above in Shanghai reached 3.88 million at the end of 2013, or 27 percent of the registered population, according to figures released by the city's civil affairs authority.
