Scottish Widows and YourMoney.com have reported that around 425 people die every day in the UK (or one every 3 minutes) as a result of the nation’s sole largest killer, heart disorders. It accounts for more than twice as many deaths in women than breast cancer, and causes more than a quarter (26%) of all deaths in the UK.
