In 2018, more than 153.000 residents of the Netherlands died. With nearly 47.000 deaths (30 percent), cancer was, as in recent years, the most common cause of death. Cardiovascular disease accounted for approximately 25 percent of deaths, and 1 percent of deaths were due to the flu. This is evident from new figures from Statistics Netherlands.

The causes of death vary greatly by age group. In 2018, fewer than 15 people between the ages of 40 and 44 died, 40 percent of whom died from a non-natural cause of death, such as an accident, suicide or murder. Cancer is the most common cause of death in people between the ages of 80 and 45, accounting for 80 percent of all deaths. Mortality from cardiovascular disease is highest from the age of 5, and a fall was the cause of death for 85 percent of the over-2018s who died in XNUMX.

Men die more often from cancer than women. Women, on the other hand, are more likely to die from mental disorders or diseases of the nervous system, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease. This is largely due to the fact that women on average die later in life than men.

  1. KhunKarel says up

    Well very sad that about 1 in 3 get cancer, cancer has been around for a long time but not to the extent it has today and the prospects for the coming years how many people will get cancer are increasing massively, it goes up to 2 in the 3

    Many beautiful messages about great progress must be viewed with suspicion, yes there is some progress with certain forms of cancer, but one should view it more as an extension of life, with blood cancer in children reasonable results are obtained.

    As early as the 70s, President Nixon started a National TV campaign to eradicate cancer from the world. Billions in subsidies were given to scientists to come up with a cure, but unfortunately despite much research, very little result, if not no result at all.

    In the meantime, wealth is being earned with the chemical substance that is injected into the veins of cancer patients, for many weakened cancer patients it is precisely what kills them, but well again 50.000 euros in the cash register. (This is per treatment)

    What is completely ignored is the very simple question why so many people now get cancer, this is now hundreds of times more than a few centuries ago, and that line of increase continues alarmingly, but with the difference that it is particularly from the industrial revolutionize the chart like a rocket goes up.

    If people know why cancer occurs, then something can be done about the cause. If there are all the nails on the road on the exit of your car, then you clean them up, what you can do is not clean up and stick your tires every day. And that's how you fight cancer, so not the cause but the disease, except for some more time savings for some people there is still no cure for cancer.

    Meanwhile, at Big Pharma they are rubbing their hands with the shareholders, who are therefore not eager for a cure for cancer or AIDS and many other ailments where you have to take pills all your life, being sick and especially chronic is the goose that lays the golden eggs for the medical industry. Surely you'd be crazy to come up with a one-time cure when you can pick the chicken for a lifetime.

    The causes of cancer? Well, who knows, violence of war (Uranium), Chernobyl? Fukushima? GSM 4/5G WIFI, the (sprayed) food we eat The last word on this has not yet been spoken, but if the financial interests are great, you should not think that your government (or other governments) has your best interest at heart. only think about their own interests, which are Power and Money. and as for the people?….oh those pesky eaters! We must continue to keep a close eye on them under the excuse of terrorism and, above all, scare them well, then they will keep a low profile, they will learn that.

    I hope that all this misery will spare many TB visitors but the numbers of cancer rise say otherwise, So dear people have a Chang beer tonight while you still can, life can be over soon.

    I wish all TB-ers a good day and good health
