In the United States, males are four times more likely to die by suicide than females. Male suicide rates are higher than females in all age groups (the ratio varies from 3:1 to 10:1). In other western countries, males are also much more likely to die by suicide than females (usually by a factor of 34:1). It was the 8th leading cause of death for males, and 19th leading cause of death for females.
WHO figures show a suicide takes place somewhere in the world every 40 seconds. Suicide rates are highest in Europe's Baltic states, where around 40 people per 100,000 die by suicide each year, second in line is in the Sub-Saharan Africa where 32 people per 100,000 die by suicide each year. The lowest rates are found mainly in Latin America and a few countries in Asia
Suicide levels are highest among the unemployed, childless, urbanites who live alone.
Mental disorders (particularly depression and substance abuse) are associated with more than 90% of all cases of suicide
The most likely age for a man to commit suicide is 23/24 or 44.
