A nice visualization! I was investigating this topic for some time and it turns out that the mortality curve is interesting: grows exponentially in time. In some sense, we start "aging" at the age of 6-8 y.o. (the safest age in Western countries). Plus, there is a bump of mortality in around 20, much more pronounced for males (accidents). See e.g. https://plot.ly/~PiotrMigdal/11/mortality-rate-by-age-and-gender-poland-2013-data-from-statgovpl/ https://plot.ly/~PiotrMigdal/11/mortality-rate-by-age-and-ge...
