The study, published this month in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, looked at 3.1 million children born in Ontario between 1990 and 2016 and examined who died and from what cause between the ages of one and 24.
Researchers excluded those who died in their first year of life, saying those deaths are generally due to congenital anomalies or other causes that are not readily preventable. They found boys and young men had a greater tendency to die, especially starting at age 14, and were three times more likely to do so than young women by age 24.
Deaths due to injury also increased after age 14, while intentional causes such as suicide accounted for one in five male deaths from injury between the ages of 15-24, and one is six female deaths from injury in that age group. The study says nearly half of injury deaths were due to accidental poisoning or overdose. Transport accidents were the second leading cause of injury-related death for all sexes from age 15 onwards, accounting for roughly a third.
Wow a super scoop for CTV. We have known this for years.

Really is this surprising in anyway? Guys have always taking greater risks, and done stupider things.
Die of what You guys are the worst. Now go back to not talking about it cause u dont care
Patriar.....oh wait...🤔 😂😂
Dumbest study ever
I thought we believed in equality
Hmmm. Have you seen the Darwin awards.
That makes sense. CTV CANADA'S BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT
No shit
🤔nothing new. Didn’t need to do a study just look at any actuarial tables from any insurer companies. And remember always follow the money riskiest jobs $$$, highest car insurance rates $$$. We are long past discovering this.
Garbage. Throw the worthless study in the garbage. Ignore it. God is in control Nothing to worry about. Psalms 2 1 - 5 KJV 1611 Bible
What a garbage headline and study. Stick it
Breaking news? This has been known forever. Physically our bodies degrade faster and mentally males are hard wired to take more risks due to our expendability.
We are all going to die!!!!!!
Everyone focuses on the STEM-gap or the “pay gap” but when are we going to close the death gap? Remember too that 95% of all workplace deaths are men.
CTVBarrieNews this has been known since the beginning of time, who is just realizing now
Good to know. Glad I survived.
Here's why:
Well that’s reassuring.
Duh. Men work all the dangerous jobs. Literally.
100% of people die.
How do people do these 'studies' and how much do they get paid?
Watching Fail Army it's 99% young men doing really dangerous stupid shit.....
Ummm ... ok ... then. Good to know 🤷♀️
white guys sitting here crying after a long day of calling everybody else snowflakes
That's because boys do more stupid stuff.
Male privilege. ToxicMasculinity
Of course, more male privilege. 85% of the homeless are men 76% of suicides are men 70% of murder victims are men 92% of workplace deaths are men 98% of war deaths are men The majority of University students are women The idea that society oppresses women is laughable 🙄
Wow what a great study and even better article!! 🙄
