I know actuaries have huge tables of probabilites of death at any given age based on historical data. Where can I find more detailed data for cause of death? Can someone point me to similar tables for major life events such as probabilites of being robbed, laid off, being in an accident of some kind, getting divorced and so on?
I am becoming a believer in being prepared and even if there is no cost-effective preventative measure, being mentally prepared for an event is very beneficial too in my experience.
CDC has every death certificate, although they only let you look at aggregated information.
Oh wow, a highly motivated person can do significant original mortality research via their online tool. You can generate cause of death graphs for almost any sort of cohort you might care about.
I've been using this.
Let me know if you find anything useful. I'm working on a project (though I haven't done anything on it since making that post).
fubarobfusco's reply to that post might be useful to you too.
