RE: Talking of Causes of Death .............

Is this for all age groups..? I would expect variations based on

an individual's age. For example a young person would have a higher

risk of dying of accidental causes, likewise an individual making

into their later years without having already succumbed to heart

disease may be more likely to die from cancer.

It's too late for me to die young but we all die from something.

It is probably instructive to study siblings and close relatives.

I have enough dead ones to suggest a risk pattern.

Looks like I can reasonably duck about half the deaths.

The there's the stuff you don't die of, like macular degeneration.
