Protection Research
One in four cancelled their health-care appointment due to work commitments
10 November 2019, Dublin: Some 54% of under 35s claim that they or someone close to them experience stress or anxiety, with 35% admitting to having mental health issues, according to new research by leading insurance company, Aviva.
These statistics are particularly stark relative to other age groups, where on average 41% of men and 45% of women reported stress or anxiety and 21% of men and 28% of women claiming mental health issues.
Cancer and heart conditions are more prevalent amongst the over 65s with 23% saying that they or someone close to them experienced cancer and 27% having had heart conditions.
An analysis of Aviva Life & Pensions’ claims statistics show that the company paid out in excess of €90 million to almost 2,600 claimants in 2018 across its protection business. Cancer and heart conditions were the main drivers of claims across death benefit and serious illness claims, while orthopaedic and psychological conditions were the main drivers of income protection claims.
