Biology, suicide rates, risk seeking behaviour, women have higher health awareness and better adherence to treatment

Is that health awareness and adherence learned behaviour though? Men have precisely zero need for healthcare until something goes wrong, but women have various screening programmes as well as contraceptive and maternity/children needs, among other things. This keeps them in regular contact with the healthcare system - where they can be offered unrelated services and advice - throughout their lives.
