Those are only some factors and don't account for the entire wealth difference. I agree they are part of the explanation though.
Women social distanced more than men which is consistent with women generally being more careful about their health than men. They couldn't explain it with women telecommuting more or having bigger houses.
It's not hard to imagine that other lifelong lifestyle habits have a significant influence on people's behavior. Wealthiness isn't allocated randomly to people. It goes to people who already have different behaviors so of course they're going to behave differently in many contexts. I find it ridiculous that people consider high income to be a fundamental source of good things, rather than being interconnected causally in both directions with many other aspects of a person's life. High income people are also less likely to smoke which doesn't make sense from a wealth-enables-behavior standpoint because they can afford to spend more on cigarettes. Seatbelt use is also positively correlated with income which surely can't be explained by some greater convenience wealthy people have for putting on a seatbelt.
