“…A significant disadvantage of men was evident in mortality due to neoplasms (CM_2), while Ellison [56] emphasized that male mortality is higher in 13 of the 18 types of cancer. The results showed that women lived longer and men died earlier and this is in accordance with the findings of several international studies [51,61,62,65] and the studies focused on the specific areas of causes of mortality [52][53][54][55]. In terms of the avoidable mortality, the results are in line with the findings of other studies by Lefevre et al [49] and de Abreu et al [50].…”

“…In general, male mortality is significantly higher than female mortality [51]. This fact is evident not only in all-cause mortality, but also in terms of specific causes of mortality, namely COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), asthma, ACOS (asthma-COPD overlap syndrome) [52][53][54] and cancer [55,56]. On the other hand, men have a lower rate of cardiovascular mortality [57].…”

The objective is to evaluate the relations between gender health inequalities and economic prosperity in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. The groups included health indicators in the specification of men, women and gender inequalities: life expectancy, causes of mortality and avoidable mortality. The variable determining the economic prosperity was represented by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The analytical processing included descriptive analysis, analysis of differences and analysis of relationships. The regression analysis was presented as the main output of the research. Most of the significant gender differences in health showed a more positive outcome for women. It is possible to identify a certain relation between gender health inequalities and economic prosperity. If there is some reduction in gender inequalities in health, the economic prosperity will increase. The reduction seems to be more effective on the part of men than women. The output of the cluster analysis showed the relations of indicators evaluating the inequalities and the prosperity. The countries such as Luxembourg, Norway or Switzerland showed very positive outputs, on the other hand, the countries with a potential for the improvement are Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia. Overall, the policies should focus on reducing the inequalities in avoidable mortality as well as reducing the frequent diseases in younger people.

“…The hectic lifestyles of men, their poor nutrition, overweight, physical inactivity or stress lead to an increased risk of cancer and other critical diseases. Simultaneously, other studies also observed excessive mortality in men (Barnes et al, 2016;Haeberer et al, 2015;Kubak et al, 2017;Ross et al, 2012;Singh-Manoux et al, 2008).…”

“…Ross et al (2012) agreed that male mortality is higher than female mortality, and suggested that education may be a factor that lead to close the gender gap in mortality. Gender inequalities in mortality were evidenced not only in the case of all-cause mortality, but also in the case of specific categories of mortality such as cancer (Ellison, 2016;Fernandez et al, 2000;Kubak et al, 2017), asthma, ACOS (asthma-COPD overlap syndrome) and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) mortality (Barnes et al, 2016). In all cases, the results were more positive for women.…”
