Are there sources of that stat over time and between nations that you would recommend?

WHO is the best source I know of for most things like this. I was unable to find the exact stat I was looking for, but here is e.g. data on all-cause mortality rate between ages 18 and 60:

It probably still supports the point you are trying to make, I just get grumpy about statistic selection.
