Needless Sexist (?) Repetition

Army recruits are in the peak age range for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It is the second most common cancer among young men 20-39 years old and the most common among young women of the same age.

Why say 'most common among men age x-y... and most common among women of the same age'.......... rather than saying 'most common among people of age x-y. I know, I know, because of the disbelief in the radical notion that women are both people and can be recruited as soldiers?
