Probability of death/cause by age (US Data)

It uses data from "Underlying Cause of Death database maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It provides data for the number of people who died in the United States between 1999 and 2014. The records are based on death certificates, which require an entry for a single cause of death"

I have no idea how serious/correct it is, but it may show you if you need to change certain habits.  It shows the causes and percentages of deaths, as you age, again, using US data.

Iiii couldn't figure it out much, but I think I've learned one: Life's too short for long-term plans

It looked right to me but that "death by SAK collection collapse" was right outta left field....

I really didn't give it much thought, I thought it would show when I'lllll die, but the age kept increasing, so I should've probably done sth else or didn't get the idea most probably (still being busy with other stuff and not looking)

What it's showing is the causes and likely hood for certain ages.  So for me it showed cancer and circulatory would likely be the cause at age 75 with over 50% dying from those.  I hope to rule out circulatory as my health is great for my age.  Cancer on the other hand is prevalent in my family so.............. 

At 84 years old I'd have a 75% chance of dying from the same but circulatory was at almost 50% the reason.

As pointed out you need to be quick and pause it at the age you are interested in. Also you need to select your sex etc.

It does not take into account family history and personal habits.

Certainly interesting.  Also very interesting is if you select say 10 years old the cause of death is external at alarming rates.

So I'm probably gonna die because of being too slow  At best I selected 29. lol. Anyway, interesting statistics.

What a terrific age NNR.  Eat well, get some exercise, manage your stress levels as best you can, BE HAPPY, and don't step in front of fast moving vehicles  .

Kidding about the last part.  Quality vs quantity.  Live and enjoy the now.
