A characteristic of population aging has been the rapid growth of the population of centenarians in some regions of the world. Centenarians, by definition, are survivors who reached the age of one hundred, that is, they lived about 20 years longer than the average life expectancy of most developed countries. There is interest in the study of the population of centenarians, due to the history that permeates this specific group in relation to overestimation and low reliability of information in demographic censuses. The objective of this study was to carry out an exploratory analysis of the quality of the census count of centenarians in the Brazilian Semiarid region in 2000 and 2010. It was an exploratory and descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, integrated by secondary data from data with 100 years or more. , non-semiarid Brazilian residents. To carry out a comparative investigation and analyze the quality of the records, data from centenarians in the world, found in 85 countries that are part of the United Nations (UN), were used. The results found in this work show that the census count of centenarians in the Semiarid Brazilian has evolved over 10 years. However, even with the advance observed, the semi-arid indicators are still of “low” quality and are far from those found in more developed countries, a fact that is worrying, which deserves attention and care in capturing this population in the next demographic census, appropriate in the erroneous counting brings casual that hinder the planning and attention to centenary elderly.
