===<span style="font-family:'Linux Libertine, Georgia, Times, serif'; font-size:24px; font-weight: normal;">Being windowed in one's 20s increases suicide risk by ~17x for men, but only ~4x for women</span>=== | |||
---- | |||
A study based on US national suicide mortality data between 1991 and 1996 has shown that the highest suicide rates were observed for White male widowers aged 20-24 (381 per 100,000, i.e. ~33 times higher than the national average in 1996 and ~17 times higher than married men in that category). | |||
For female White widows, suicide rate only increased by factor ~4 and not significantly higher than the national average. | |||
Even though men and women self-report about the same intensity of post-relationship grief (Morris & Reiber, 2011), | |||
this may be evidence of women's less intense love style and that women's self-reports exaggerate their true suffering much like children are often observed to do. | |||
