Are men at greater risk then women?

I am in the process of getting approved for WLS, so I have a lot of time to puruse the bios and stories of many members here. Recently I noticed on the Memorial Page that there is a much higher percentage of DEATH following WLS for men then the general ratio on men/women on this site would indicate. Am I reading something into this or are there any statistics on this subject?
