Toxic masculinity is generally unhealthy. So it would follow if that were the case.

Income and net worth are the best predictors of life expectancy. Geography is the next after that. Those two go hand in hand, though. I don't have anything empirical, but my hunch is that controlling for those factors, conservatives still don't live as long. Things like their ideas of masculinity affecting their willingness to believe a risk is real, or willingness to believe in science based medical treatment.

Here in Texas life expectancy drops about a half a year per county away from a large city. With the people furthest away living about 5 years less than in Houston or Dallas.

Mostly is lack of preventative care

lack of hospitals too.
