Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Male mortality is higher than female mortality at nearly all ages and in nearly all contexts. Female life expectancy is usually several years longer than male life expectancy. (Historically, when maternal mortality was much higher, that was not the case.) There are many potential explanations and there is a large literature on this difference.
