Also you: Amish females MRs for all causes of death were lower from age 10-39, not different from 40-69, and higher over age 69.

Women only "got more issues as their aged" after age 69. Before that, they were either better off or about the same. This also agrees with the point the parent comment was making that they generally have healthy lifestyles and don't go into long-term care facilities in old age. Instead, they accept death when the time comes.
