"There was a strong inverse association between height and suicide risk. In fully adjusted models, a 5-cm increase in height was associated with a 9% decrease in suicide risk."
"Taller men had a much lower risk of suicide than shorter men. The association was linear. The effect of height changed little after adjustment for parental socioeconomic index or the participant’s body mass index."
"Short individuals are more likely to be in a low social class as adults"
"We found that educational level, a marker of socioeconomic position, had little effect on the associations"
"Marriage protects against suicide, and short individuals may be less likely to marry than taller ones"
"Finally, short children tend to have lower levels of intelligence and may suffer stigmatizationand discrimination"
