Men'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.

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.

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

10 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.
