Women have always lived longer than men, at all times in all societies. That’s basic biology, it’s even the reason why the birth ratio is lower for female than male babies (evolutionnary compensation for higher male mortality).
No amount of fake news from the BBC or post hoc justifications will change this reality.
Dying prematurely means dying earlier than women ? Men are less likely to have healthy lifestyles than women, and are more likely to smoke, drink alcohol, take drugs, have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Besides waiting longer to see a doctor (if at all).
