I've heard second hand that certain offices in the FAA are getting concerned over the stats. They aren't available publicly though. As far as major incidents, there's google.
Question: Do you think that pilots 60-65 are more likely or less likely to have a medical issue inflight?
Just look at an actuarial table. A 64 year old is ~50% more likely to die than a 59 year old in the US. In spite of what older pilots will tell you, this table also applies to pilots:

Note that both male and female death probability increases by ~50% from 59 to 64.
