Applying the sex ratio coefficient (i.e., -11.2422) from Table 1 to these values suggests that the males in Sweden's "least culled" birth cohort (i.e., 1910) lived, on average, 3 (i.e., 11.2422 x 12 x 0.0215 = 2.9) fewer months than expected from the lifespan of females in that cohort as well from historic trends unique to male cohort lifespan. Those in the most "most culled" cohort (i.e., 1784), on the other hand, lived 3.7 more months than was expected from history and from the lifespan of females in that cohort.
