Men Aged 50 Or Above At Higher Risk Of Early Death Than Women: Study

The risk of early death in men aged 50 or above is 60% higher than women of the same-age group, revealed a study published in Canadian Medical Association Journal. The study suggested that the mortality gap can be credited to socio-economic factors, lifestyle, health issues like smoking and heart diseases in men, and social factors. However, the research stated the risk gap varied among different countries. The research sampled over 1,79,000 people across 28 countries.
