Hello bluekat
Here is the US data for causes of death in males, in 2000, according
to age. However, the highest age group given is 65+
The data are from the National Center for Injury Prevention and
Control
web site, and you can select reports for 1999 onwards or for 1998 and
before on this page: http://webapp.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/leadcaus.html
Selecting 1999 onwards brings you to another page where currently the
choices are only for 1999 and 2000 data. You can select various
display options. I've selected age groups as you requested and the top
10 causes of death for each group (you can select up to 20 causes).
The results can be downloaded in spreadsheet format (csv)

The UK statistics are available from National Statistics
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/default.asp
The actual file you want is available in Excel or csv format at
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/STATBASE/ssdataset.asp?vlnk=6879
It includes separate data for males and females. The figures are not
presented as clearly, so I have tried to sort them out for you. Also,
the age ranges are presented in 10-year blocks from age 5 upwards and
in the lowest age group do not include deaths occurring at under 28
days of age.
