Table 1. Table of identified significant health conditions as calculated in [32].
For each condition we give the estimated prevalence in the population as well as the increased risk of death found as a hazard ratio calculation adjusted for demographics and coexisting conditions.

|---|---|---|
| Diabetes | 9.9 | 2.06 (1.88-2.25) |
| Kidney disease | 6.3 | 1.72 (1.62-1.83) |
| Heart disease | 6.1 | 1.27 (1.20-1.35) |
| Respiratory (excl. asthma) | 4.1 | 1.78 (1.67-1.90) |
| Dementia/stroke | 2.1 | 1.79 (1.67-1.93) |
| Severe asthma1 | 1.7 | 1.25 (1.08-1.44) |
| Immunosuppressive conditions | 1.6 | 1.69 (1.21-2.34) |
| Cancer2 | 1.2 | 2.51 (2.01-3.15) |
| Neurological (excl. dementia/stroke) | 1.0 | 2.46 (2.19-2.76) |
| Liver disease | 0.7 | 1.61 (1.33-1.95) |
| Spleen diseases | 0.2 | 1.41 (0.93-2.12) |
| Organ transplant | 0.1 | 4.27 (3.20-5.70) |
