32 years, 1 miscarriage
The most common reason for this is miscarriage. This type of loss has major impacts on people, society and the economy.
For example, research has estimated that the short-term costs of miscarriage to the UK are £471 million per year. This figure rises to over £1 billion when including long-term health impacts.
That’s a similar amount to prostate cancer, which is estimated to cost the UK economy about £800 million per year.
