Women got no benefit after 40. Healthier lifestyle as cause would had them having this benefit at that age range too. It is exactly that age when men started to have benefits. In case of women you have slight benefit at the age range when men are dying more.

69 years old women are not in the long term facilities for that matter eitminor Nor are men. In UK, 66 years old is retirement age. This is age when strength and health declines, but nowhere near the level necessary to be in some kind of facility. These are self sufficient people, able to care about themselves, able to care about relatives or animals.

None of that are numbers that overall superior healthier lifestyle. Just a minor shifts around.
