" A baby girl born this year is eight times more likely to live to 100 than one born 80 years ago, new figures show. Meanwhile, the average 20-year-old is three times more likely to reach 100 than their grandparents, according to the figures, which were published by the Department for Work and Pensions. Pensions minister Steve Webb said: &amp;#039;These figures show just how great the differences in life expectancy between generations really are. &amp;#039;The dramatic speed at which life expectancy is changing means that we need to radically rethink our perceptions about our later lives.&amp;#039; Dr Ros Altmann, director-general of the Saga Group, said that money spent on medical advances, healthcare and improving lifestyles &amp;#039;is having brilliant results&amp;#039;. But she agreed that people need to change their attitudes towards later life.
