A popular critical illness in England and Wales may be the circulatory disease followed by heart disease and stroke. Due to this critical illness, death rates among men may have risen more than women. As per the Office of National Statistics, around 312 out of 100,000 men may have passed away due to circulatory disorders in contrast with 194 of every 100,000 women. Other reports may have demonstrated that heart failures may have brought a high death rate among both sexes.



Similarly, a critical illness such as breast cancer may have been the common cause for claims among women during 1980-1992 in the UK. In the year 1980, around 80 out of 100,000 women may have suffered from breast cancer. An increase in victims of this critical illness may have then been recorded in the year 1988. From this year onwards, the rate of breast cancer may have kept on rising. Thus, in the year 1992, approximately 120 over a population of 100,000 women may have endured this life threatening critical illness. Women may have as well contracted lung cancer. But the rate at which this critical illness affected women may have been lesser than that of men. In the year 1980, around 38 out of 100,000 women may have contracted lung cancer. Consequently, in the year 1992 the rate may have slowly increased to 44 over 100,000 women. As for a critical illness such as colon cancer, the value may have remained constant throughout the 13 years with around 39 over 100,000 women from 1980-1992.

Therefore a more appropriate analysis may have been carried out by the Office of National Statistics pointing to the death rates among people of various age categories. They may be demonstrated as follows: In the year 2002 mortality for people between the age of 15 to 29 may have resulted from injury and poisoning. That is nearly 0.041 percent for males as compared to around 0.01 percent for females based upon a population of 100,000.

Additionally, people, especially women may have also suffered from a critical illness like cervical cancer. However, this type of cancer may have made fewer sufferers. Around 20 out of 100,000 women may have been diagnosed with cervical cancer from 1980-1992. Malignant melanomas, another form of cancer may have brought around 5 out of 100,000 cases in the year 1980 and ended up in 1990 with no new cases registered afterwards. Men falling between the ages of 30 to 44 died also as a result of injury and poisoning. That is 0.045 percent based upon a population of 100,000. On the other hand, 0.032 percent of women on a population of 100,000 died due to a critical illness like cancer.

Also, people aged between 45 to 64 may have suffered mainly from a critical illness, the most dominant being cancer. Around 0.245 percent of men upon a population of 100,000 may have died as compared to 0.218 percent of women over the same population count. For those people aged between 64 and beyond, the critical illness namely circulatory disease may have been the main cause of death. People aged 85 or more may have been victims of circulatory diseases along with respiratory diseases and then pass away.

The bottom line remains that for the sake of future security either individual of family wise, critical illness cover could well be the right answer.
