I really love this, excellent visualizations and explanations of each. I would be thrilled if you did a similar set of visualizations that look at “risk factors“ for mortality. I love using good visualizations for risk factors to help people understand exactly how they should prioritize their efforts not to die, at various ages.
I mean I know that a common measure of impact for charity is Quality-adjusted Life Years but I'm not sure how it's computed
Probably based on lifespan and disability rate at each age yeah
I agree that it's also flawed, I don't want to say that one death should have the same weight at all ages but I don't feel like my judgment depends on "years lost"
I guess it depends on the distress of the person's friends and relatives but good luck measuring that
Am I correct in my understanding that visualization #3 "What are the risks of dying from different causes at each age?" is essentially visualization #4 "What are people dying from at different ages?" but with a "still living" category added?
It's interesting to consider the messaging from "the experts" in light of this thorough analysis. I wonder if they are reviewing the tape so they perform better next time... I am not optimistic.

I would love to see this as well!
Very nice graphs
I wonder how one could calculate the "number of life years lost" due to a particular cause of death, if it's even a coherent concept
I feel like it would match the idea of the "seriousness" or "importance" of a particular danger relatively well
Ohhh interesting how would you estimate this? Based on average life span? I feel like that metric in itself is quite flawed. Or something else?

I really liked the flow of this article. Very intuitive. Thank you for sharing.
