Has there ever been a study done on the rate of crashes of planes over 30 years old?

Usually 10,000 hours on an air frame means end of life fro a small single engine plane. It can still fly with a lot of inspections. AFA Large commercial airliners I have no clue.

Let say a commercial plane flies 1000 hours/yr. A 30 year old plane has 30,000 hours of time on the air frame. That is one hell of a lot of potential metal fatigue.
