In a grim warning for women in the Middle East, a new consumer report from the Middle East of the Zurich International Life Life Life Ltd. A wreck rise in Hart in the early OSET directly that is most financially vulnerable.
According to the last claims of the customer paid report 2025 by Zurich International Life Life., Part of the Zurich insurance group (Zurich), the number of heart attack and rowing -related death claims in women with 50% has risen since 2020, which has been in fact that has been a growing lifestyle risen from a growing lifestyle riis, a growing lifestyle riis was a growing lifestyle riis of, more style riis, that more style riis is a growing lifestyle riis, which is a growing lifestyle riis of more style riisal, which is a growing lifestyle riis. All age groups. Interestingly, 1 in 10 women who claimed that the living benefits for heart conditions was smokers.
The report is based on life and life claims that were made between 2022 and 2024 against Zurich’s shop and group lifelife, which emphasizes a remarkable shift in both the profile and the preparedness of the claimants. Zurich paid the customer claims that this year is more than USD 241 million, comb the USD 210 million from last year.
But even the risks of climbing, consciousness and insurance coverage are reported. The report said that three out of five women have a life coverage under the USD 200,000. The average lifetime for men is also 88% higher than the average lifetime for women. For households where women contribute to family income or financially, this can cause serious vulnerabilities when life takes a non -loved twist.
Life crises are stitching younger than ever
People can think that life -changing events such as cancer, critical diseases or death only take place later in life. However, Zurich’s data shows that another story unfolds about the VAE.
Life covers claims from individuals, as young as 27, and claims of critical diseases from the age of just 23. The most strikingly enough, a claim of the critical diseases of children was submitted for a 9-year destination, which emphasizes the harsh reality that no age group is immune. This shift to younger claimants reveals a gap in perception, because many consider insurance as submissive to consider late life.
For those families without coverage, the loss of an older Oradwinner can create immediate financial stress. Rent, school costs, debts and daily costs continue, even when Inome stops. The Zurich report emphasizes how often these situations occur. Cancer and heart disease remain the main causes of death claims in the region, together accounting for almost 50% of all such claims.
The latest data from Zurich also shows how early Tohe Cructry Moments takes place. The Avenge Age for a Life Cover Claim is now only 52, and for claims for terminal diseases, only 51. Although the oldest death claim came to 80, the youngest was only 27 years old. These are not numbers that are traditionally associated with the end -life planning, but they are increasingly reflecting the reality of today.
“In the most challenging seasons of life, we are as a reliable partner who offer families support when they need it,” said Shilpa Chitanand, head of the distribution of the retail trade in the East of Zurich. “In the past three years we have paid 98% of the lives claims in 73 countries, and when all documents are present, most claims are arranged within 72 hours. Timely support can make a real difference.”
The time to prepare is now
Although Zurich’s claim data indicate rising health risks and earlier diagnoses, it also indicates a shift in consumer behavior. More residents in the middle -east start to take proactive steps to protect Tham themselves and their families. But increasing awareness, extensive protection is still the exception, not the norm.
“Looking at the benefit figures for the year, we have increased to hide year after year, increased in life and claims for critical diseases, perhaps the most signed jump since 2020,” Shilpa emphasized. “This reinforces two truths – the need for protection has never been higher and too many families are still acting too late.”
The data paints a clear picture: the health risks rise and play Bo men and women at a younger age, with contact persons who can be financially devastating. Yet the growing risks, financial readiness, remains insufficient.
Whether it is about the unexpected diagnosis of a critical illness, the Suden loss of a loved one or the rising cardiovascular risks with which women are confronted, the financial impact can be serious for families without the right protection.
“The time to act is now. Regular health control VS, managing lifestyle risks, and the most important, securing an extensive insurance coverage for the life of BI Life and critical illness can make a hug difference,” Shilpa added.
