United Kingdom: economic inactivity due to long term sickness now amounts to approximately 1.5 percent of all 16-64 year olds, and is increasing at a rate of 0.45 percentage points per year. The rate of change is increasing. 1/x
Iso-Britannia: pitkäaikaisista sairauksista johtuva taloudellinen passiivisuus vastaa nyt noin 1.5 prosenttia kaikista 16-64-vuotiaista, ja kasvaa 0.45 prosenttiyksikön vuosivauhtia. Muutoksen vauhti on kiihtymässä. 2/x

In Finland, I don't believe @Tilastokeskus provides these kind of tables about economic inactivity. I would love to be wrong about this. 4/x

@Tilastokeskus @RapoMarkus En usko että Tilastokeskus julkaisee vastaavaa dataa taloudellisesta toimettomuudesta, joka johtuu pitkäaikaisesta sairaudesta. Olen kyllä mielelläni väärässä. 5/x
@Tilastokeskus @RapoMarkus
A pattern of delay in the reporting of chronic sickness may be at work. Sick people first leave the labour market, and only some time after that start reporting chronic sickness to ONS. That could mean that the true number is higher. 6/x
Taustalla saattaa olla viivettä kroonisen sairauden raportoinnissa. Sairaat ihmiset poistuvat ensin työmarkkinoilta, ja vasta jonkin ajan kuluttua alkavat raportoida kroonisesta sairaudestaan Tilastokeskukselle (ONS). Tämä voisi tarkoittaa, että todellinen lukumäärä on suurempi.

1-6 year olds / chromosomal abnormalities (Q90-Q99).
- Down's syndrome (Q90): average patient growth (2022-2025e) 14% per year = 10x in 18 years)
- fastest growing condition: other sex chromosome abnormalities, male phenotype (Q98), up 150% in 2025e 2/x

Intellectual disabilities (F70-F79): <1 year olds are leading in terms of y/y growth. Ten percent of <1 year olds will have an intellectual disability diagnosis in 14 year's time (2039), if current growth rates continue. 1/x
The rise in intellectual disability among <1 year olds also shows in number of diagnoses: up roughly 11 times in 4 years. Also note the rise among 1-6 year olds. 2/x
7-14 and 15-24 year olds are showing the highest levels of intellectual disability. If current growth rates continue, 5 percent of 7-14 and 15-24 year olds will have an intellectual disability diagnosis by 2048 (24 years from now). 3/x
In 30 years from now, 5 percent of 1–6 year olds and 8 percent of 25–49 year olds will be walking with white sticks, if current growth trends continue.
Here is the graph for all age groups, all of which are showing quite uniform y/y growth. Patients / public outpatient healthcare. 2/x
