This statistic refers to the entire population 15 and above, whereas the shidduchim population referred to in the discussion of the shidduchim crisis is in a much narrower range.
The key to understanding the 86/100 number is that statistic which has a huge disparity between male and female widows. To whatever extent it reflects more deaths of males due to violence than to females, it would seemingly not apply to the frum population.
