Even men who work in physically benign environments die sooner than women. It's got to be the one distinquishing factor: T. Even with a majority of the work force now female, the gap in longevity is still about 5 years.

I think there are some other important contributors to the longevity gap between genders. For instance, women are more likely to attempt suicide, while men are more likely to succeed. Older men (65+) are especially susceptible to killing themselves I think. Another consideration I think is a lot more men suffer from occupational fatalities than women.
