== Age of deaths due to ME/CFS == In England and Wales, most people whose deaths were caused fully or partly by [[ME/CFS]] were of working age, with the youngest dying their late teens.<ref name="ONS2018" /> {{Image frame|caption=<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:140%">Deaths caused partly or fully by ME/CFS, England and Wales, 2001 - 2016.</span ><br> <span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:120%">Source: Office of National Statistics.<ref name="ONS2018"/></span>| content={{Graph:Chart|width=550|height=auto|type=rect|xAxisTitle=Age at death|yAxisTitle=Total deaths 2001-2016|legend=Legend|x=Under 14,15 to 19,20 to 29,30 to 39,40 to 49,50 to 59,60 to 69,70 to 79,80 or over|y1=0,1,1,12,16,21,22,6,9|y2=|showValues=true|fontsize=120%|y1Title=|y2Title=|colors={{MEActionRed}}}} |align=left}} {{Clear}} {{Image frame|caption=<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:140%">Deaths caused partly or fully by ME/CFS, England and Wales, 2001 - 2016.</span ><br> <span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:120%">Source: Office of National Statistics.<ref name="ONS2018"/></span>| content={{Graph:Chart|width=550|height=auto|type=line|xAxisTitle=Year of death|yAxisTitle=Deaths|legend=Legend|x=2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2016|y1=2,2,3,2,1,5,2,4,4,10,6,15,8,6,7,11|y2=|showValues=true|fontsize=120%|y1Title=|y2Title=|colors={{MEActionRed}}}} |align=left}} {{clear}} Deaths from ME/CFS are very rare, and ME/CFS is rarely recorded on death certificates. In England and Wales, between 2001 and 2016, 88 death certificates stated that the death was either partly or fully caused by myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome,<ref name="ONS2018" /> which is less than six deaths per year.
