If I work in a coal mine, but don't die due to a cave-in, congrats! I get to live to 65. But my lungs are weak from years of breathing dust and fumes, and during a hot, humid summer, I suffocate and die. 10 years before my wife, who spent most of her years raising our children and volunteering at the church.

This is a stupid made-up story, I know, but my point is that there are so many ways our jobs affect our health. Men do dangerous work, it doesn't have to kill us immediately, but it does take us early.
