Why men don’t live as long as women

Dear Healthy Men: I know from reading your column that men’s lifespan is shorter than women’s. But how much of that has to do with biology and how much with males’ behaviour and socialisation?Although the simple biological fact (nature) of being born male increases boys’ and men’s overall health risks, the behavioural choices (nurture) they make are at least as important

This means that trans men and others who identify as men, while not biologically male, may also experience the behavioural disadvantages of being male.
