Researchers in Sweden surveyed data including 79% of all men born in Sweden in 1950–1981 to identify health outcomes for these men. They found that every extra 5 cm of height reduced suicide rates by 9%, such that the tallest men had half the suicide rate of shorter men. | |||
They suggest that reasons for this difference are likely that shorter men tend to have lower socioeconomic success as they grow up. Additionally, as women judge shorter men negatively, they are less likely to be romantically successful, which generally protects against suicide. | |||
