When one separates the stats on causes of death  is it appropriate to 
have only 3 categories:

Injury- accident, murder, suicide, war, starvation, childbirth ,medical 
procedure failure

Infection - all infectious disease acute and chronic  under age 65, 
congenital malformations leading to death under age 6, allergy related

Ageing as a generalized, chronic degenerative terminal  disease - 
infectious disease after age 65, congenital malformations after age 6, 
all the chronic and various wide ranging  degenerative conditions from 
heart disease to cancer to neurological catastrophe, and general 
systemic failure  including all the longer term ones such as low level 
inflammatory conditions such as  arthritis.

Has onyone a quick link to stats for their country that can be sorted 
out  in this way?
Does any country or organization  accept ageing as a disease in a format 
as above?
