It looks like at around age 18 - 30ish, the numbers start catching up, with a sharper reduction in expectancy differences happening around age 35.
From the PRB:
"Men are three times as likely as women to die from injuries (unintentional injuries, suicide, or homicide), and progress against those causes of death has been much slower than against other causes in the last 50 years. There is also evidence that men at all ages are less likely to seek medical care and less likely to comply with medical instructions than are women."
- spookylettuce 4y agoI'm very interested in this workflow of data -> awk -> graph. What graphing software did you use?
- chomp 4y agoWell, I spat out the list of numbers and just googled "graph values" and took the first result, but if you love to stay in command line, you can do something like so... # awk '{print $7-$4}' chart | gnuplot -p -e 'plot "/dev/stdin"' Where `chart` is just what I copy and pasted from the site :)

- kristopolous 4y agoThe internet can be extremely hostile to empirical evidence. I actually just expect to be brigaded whenever I reference things like The Lancet. People are aggressively anti-intellectual. People don't logon to learn, they're here to be tribal and do social cues

- pards 4y agoNevermind was the better album, for sure.
- chomp 4y agoMen's health is complicated. Yes, there's some "strength in silence" confounding issues in doctor training and patients, but if you pry back the social media buzzwords, you'll see that there's complex economic and societal forces that push men's health downward. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1121551/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1121551/ Also, I think you are trolling, but I'll bite. The expectancy in the 0-1 age group takes into account all life events that will affect the child over time, including what I had quoted. If you look at the probabilities in early life for both sexes, they have similar death probabilities.
