I'm replying to my own question. I received some suggestions, but
found what I had found before by putting "odds of dying" into Google.
http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/odds.htm
This only relates to injury, however.
That search also pulled up other sites with tables comparing risk of dying
from heart disease, cancer, lightning strikes, earthquakes,etc.
I did give my patron some info from PubMed on communicating risks
of HRT, including from Hormone Therapy Task Force, as suggested by Mary.
That was helpful , he said, but not really what he wanted.
Also suggested: (thanks Valerie, Rachel)
"risk factors, by age" in Google, CDC, NCI
Thanks to all who suggested; any more suggestions will be
gratefully accepted.

REF: US statistics on risks in everyday life, medical and other
Medlibbers-
Don't go to extra effort for this, but I recall searching something
similar
before on risks of death in various age groups, but I can't find what I
found last time.
This one is not specific to "risk of death" Here is what the patron
(Ob/Gyn) says:
"can you see if you can find some article about risk and comparing risks
of
various treatment , drugs and everyday occurrences
I would like to be able to put the risk of HRT in perspective"
I've searched PubMed, MMWR, U.S. Vital Statistics, American Cancer
Society,
and Google. I found articles on risk-benefit analysis in PubMed, but that
is not what he wants.
Thanks in advance!
