      There’s lots of places you can find out official statistics, including this website – National Statistics Online – these stats come from official census information so are probably some of the most accurate:

      According to the BBC (back in 2006) the biggest killer in the UK was heart disease – 20% of deaths in men were attributed to heart disease and 16% in women in 2006!
