Overview

Randomized trial examines gender disparities in life expectancy across Thai provinces, indicating environmental health risks.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore gender disparities in survival and life expectancy across Thailand's provinces from 2015 to 2023.
  • Constructed life tables using civil registration data for all 77 Thai provinces.
  • Employed generalized additive models (GAM) with Poisson likelihood to estimate mortality rates.
  • Analyzed temporal trends and regional disparities, with separate analyses by sex.
  • National gender gap in life expectancy at birth increased from 7.0 years in 2015 to 7.7 years in 2021, linked to higher male mortality during COVID-19.
  • Provincial gender gaps ranged from 5.7 to 9.5 years.
  • Moderate to strong negative correlation observed between PM2.5 exposure and life expectancy.
