p.s. I edited the earlier response too many times already...
But my point is that I think a key epidemiological variable should be the age of peak incidence. This has been largely missed due to various common practices like:
1) Binning into 5/10 year age groups
2) Looking at age adjusted data
3) Truncating the age-specific incidence data at 70-85
years old because the later data is deemed unreliable
