Causes of death per 100,000, by age group, in the United States, 2014. |

Same information in tabular form. A "0" indicates that the CDC did not list it in the top ten causes of death for that age cohort. CLRD is Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases. |
As a member of the 55-64 cohort, the biggest cause of mortality is.....turning 65.
All joking aside, the three big hitters for my age are Cancer, Heart Disease and Accidents. The best "Band-aids" I can buy are to know the signs of cancer so it can be caught early, take a 81mg entric-coated aspirin every day, exercise, watch my weight and avoid doing stupid stuff.
I'm there with ya... Sigh...
