Women still outlive men but the gap is narrowing and men can help themselves buck the statistics, writes MICHAEL KELLY .
THERE IS good and bad news for men in the recently published Central Statistics Office (CSO) report on life expectancy. The good news is that male life expectancy has increased and the gap between male and female life expectancy is narrowing.
The bad news is that we still don’t live as long as our female compatriots, and men from 11 other EU countries live longer than we do.
