This proportion, however, has fallen since it was 41% 20 years ago. Another 26% of fatalities were caused by cancer. Lung cancer, which has been demonstrated to be the most lethal type of illness in Switzerland for over 40 years, claimed over 3,200 lives in 2013.

In 2013, approximately 6,000 fatalities in the country were directly caused by dementia, compared to 2,100 in 1995.
