Global factors impacting medical trend rates
Aon Hewitt’s report found that cardiovascular issues, cancer and gastrointestinal issues were
the most prevalent health conditions driving health care claims around the world. Prevailing
issues in Europe are cardiovascular, cancer and diabetes. The global risk factors expected to
drive future claims and to contribute to the adverse experience driving high medical cost
increases, were primarily non-communicable diseases, such as high blood pressure, obesity
and high cholesterol, followed by physical inactivity. In Europe, the top reported conditions
are high blood pressure, smoking and poor stress management.
