The equilibrium neutron-to-proton ratio is . Increasing the neutron-proton mass difference suppresses neutron abundance at the same freeze-out temperature. Therefore less helium-4 forms, with other inputs held fixed. Any associated shortening of neutron lifetime further reduces survival, rather than reversing this direct effect.
