In Switzerland, women live about six years more than men. The purpose of our study was to measure and describe the respective contributions of the various age groups and causes of death to the difference in life expectancy at birth between men and women.
With an analytical demographic method, this difference in life expectancy can be distributed according to age and cause of death. The contribution of each age and cause can be discussed.
All ages and quite all causes of death contribute to overmortality in men. Age groups over 50, as well as circulatory diseases and malignant neoplasms, contribute most to gender disparities in longevity while violent deaths play a less important role.
Any attempt to reduce gender mortality disparities would involve the modification of a number of etiological factors, including biological factors or those linked to lifestyle.
在瑞士，女性的寿命比男性长约6年。我们研究的目的是衡量并描述不同年龄组和死亡原因对男性和女性出生时预期寿命差异的各自贡献。
采用分析性人口统计学方法，这种预期寿命差异可按年龄和死亡原因进行分布。可以讨论每个年龄和原因的贡献。
所有年龄组以及几乎所有死亡原因都导致男性死亡率过高。50岁以上年龄组以及循环系统疾病和恶性肿瘤对长寿方面的性别差异贡献最大，而暴力死亡的作用较小。
任何减少性别死亡率差异的尝试都将涉及改变许多病因因素，包括生物学因素或与生活方式相关的因素。
