Perhaps, but there's a wide distribution of age of death, and the author is fretting about a 5 year difference in life expectancy between 2 populations that are doing fine.

Assuming someone can ever fully explain the cause of this life-expectancy difference, it's going to be multi-faceted and complex and amount to nothing more than a long list of generic advice and policy prescriptions that will go nowhere and probably be culturally incompatible.
