"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."
Especially on the 0-1 year old group. Toxic masculinity starts in utero.

- kristopolous 5y 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

- chomp 5y 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.
- TheSoftwareGuy 5y ago> The expectancy in the 0-1 age group takes into account all life events that will affect the child over time But this is not taken into account in the Death Probability column, is it? Because we also see in that column, consistently better outcomes for women, even for the very youngest age groups
- Retric 5y ago10 and 11 year old boys have very similar rates of death as 10 and 11 year old girls, and it swaps some years ex: 2013. Click on 2006 for example and men have noticeably lower rates of death in that age range, but 14 year old boys where still twice as likely to die.
