Below you will find the answer to your question.
Someone who is exactly one hundred years old is a centenarian or centenarian. Those two words are also sometimes used for someone who is a hundred years old or older. But that’s not strictly correct. For someone who is a hundred years old or older, it is better to use the word centenarian.
For men turning fifty, there is the expression to see Abraham. And for women: see Sarah. But for men or women who live to be a hundred, there is no such expression as far as I know.
