This is kind of strange, but it looks like there are just a couple of things that account for all the difference. With infants it is premature birth (300% higher in US) and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (230% higher). With teens it is car accidents (100% higher) and guns (82%).
The cars and guns are obvious because American teens spend more time in cars than most other countries and are exposed to more guns than in most other countries.
The premature birth and SIDS problems are much more puzzling. It almost seems like the premature birth problem would have something to do with something in the environment or food.
