Have you seen these? Were they at all along the lines of what you were looking for? http://lesswrong.com/lw/a60/quantified_health_prize_results_announced/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/2qa/rational_health_optimization/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/awm/how_to_avoid_dying_in_a_car_crash/
Dying or becoming severely physically/mentally ill is very likely going to significantly lower the output of your utility function, so it would probably be a very bad idea to ignore the low-hanging resources which can significantly extend the time for which you are alive and well. I have attempted to search LessWrong for a list of such resources, and haven't been able to find one.
Are there any books, websites, or posts that contain significantly low-hanging fruit in this area? If so, please list them in the comments below.
