I realize this is a meme, but isn't it mostly linked to how many men died in wars last century, which disproportionately skews the numbers?

I want to throw in the following explanations I read (I haven't fact checked them but find them interesting for this post). Women are statistically smaller than men and smaller individuals of a species live longer than larger ones. Men on average have faster metabolisms than women which is said to contribute to faster aging as well.
