I did not resist. Quite fascinating how the sex ratio of death rates has evolved over time. Pretty stable with age in the 1900s, then rising in older ages, then from the 1930s generations onwards we see that big inequality in young adult deaths. Code: github.com/VictimOfMath...
This is clearly important to the sex ratio trends (rise and fall of ischemic heart disease mortality, mostly affecting men at younger ages). bsky.app/profile/karl...
(btw I had to smooth the ratios slightly by taking a rolling 5-year average as they were very noisy otherwise)
Awesome!! That's very cool. On the change over time – at least for older ages – you might find this article I wrote interesting: ourworldindata.org/why-do-women... It's different since young and middle age adult death rates have a smaller effect on life expectancy.
Women tend to live longer than men around the world – but the sex gap in life expectancy is not a constant.
