but that's related to lifestyle
traditionally men do more manual labor and do more stressful work
It looks like there's more to study here. In a 2023 Danish study in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, "The association between occupational physical activity and ischaemic heart disease was different among men and women. High physical activity at work was associated with around 45% higher risk of ischaemic heart disease in men, but with around 65% lower risk in women."

isn't that more due to age ?
its like saying older women are at higher risk than younger women of cardiovascular disease
"Later age at natural menopause has been linked to […] reduced all-cause mortality, CVD, and cardiovascular death," per a 2020 American Heart Association scientific statement in the journal Circulation. In two matched women of the same age, one pre-menopausal one post-menopausal, the post-menopausal one will be at higher risk.
