I haven't heard this before - the change isn't that large but but it really does drop after 80

My inclination is that this could still just be a selection effect. For people who are prone to cancer, you are probably dead by 80.

The article seems to claim it’s as simple as your cells regenerate less often past 80, thus fewer chances for mutations and thus cancer.
