Life span here is interesting.

If it’s affected by things like work place deaths because men are more likely to take on dangerous jobs, e.g. sea fisherman, military service, etc. would that overlap with the section of the population likely to be working on pure mathematics?

Suicide, another cause of that difference in average life span, would overlap though I guess.

It would be worth properly investigating as I suspect there’s a lot of complexity hidden here.
