7.8.2 Causes of Death by Age
It is useful to examine the different causes of death at the ages they occur. Figure 64
gives the total number of deaths over the three year period 2005-2007 by cause of
death and the age at which they occur for men and women combined. This could be
updated for 2007-2009, but the pattern will essentially be similar with the same causes
of death predominant at the different ages.
