I'm nearly 75 - I see my chances of terminal nymphomania are a long shot
The link in the OP does not come close to official government statistics. I find it highly suspect. Poisonings #1 cause of death between 35-44. Uh...I call cow excrement on these statistics.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm
This chart is concise:
https://www.cdc.gov/injury/images/lc-charts/leading_causes_of_death_age_group_2016_1056w814h.gif
For ages 1-44, the leading cause of death is unintentional injuries, something that we in the USA seem to excel at...
Ages 45-64 Cancer.
64+ Heart disease.

Poisoning for 25-44, I think most of them are actually overdose.
Sugar is the real bandit to bad health.
Medical procedure accidents often rank in the top 5. I don't see it on the list.

Given all the talk about opiod and heroin addiction that was my thought also..

It is in the Genes. Diet and exercise is like doing the oil changes in an engine . It will not stop parts from breaking but it will be all you can to to get the best life out of the engine.

Agreed 100%. Diet and exercise can help but many conditions you are already predisposed to due to your genes. And of course you can exercise and eat all the salads you want and you could still be involved in an accident, etc. unrelated to your general health. Heart disease runs in our family so I already know I’m at a higher risk for complications. I’m doing what I can diet and exercise wise to try and increase my odds a bit but that’s really all I can do.
One of the biggest lies in the modern world, used for insurance and pension purposes is that we are living longer.
a hundred years ago, there were many many factors skewing the "average" in a downwards direction
* being born (a lot of zeros pulls an average down quickly)
* giving birth (look in an old cemetery, many many female names in the 17-25 year range)
* Childhood Illness
* Accidental (throw child labour into those, eg chimney sweeps and cotton gins)
Once you got though those, the age at which you fall off the perch doesn't change greatly.
so yes, the "average" has increased markedly, but the end age hasn't changed much.
An Oz economist was talking to it a while back as a con...with the increase in people passing those milestones, you've got more people paying into taxes and funds, so using the "average" time of people receiving retirement benefits, based on an average that includes people who never got to that age (died very young due to the environment they were in), to delay retirement and benefits...is a con.

Yeah, but epigenetics is teaching us that gene expression can change due to environmental factors...like diet and exercise.

Exactly. Anything else is nothing more than pure speculation.

I'd like to see how YOU use that to explain physical consciousness.
You beat me to it. And there is no grand unified theory. This is what happens when people play scientists.

In my opinion, the leading causes of death for adults 18-40 years of age here in the United States are accidents, drug overdoses and suicides.
Suicide is underreported in my opinion.
