evidence: - Three times as many men as women die by suicide - Men aged 40 to 49 have the highest suicide rates in the UK - At times during the coronavirus (COVID-19 pandemic), females experienced lower life satisfaction and happiness than males, which differs from pre-coronavirus pandemic analysis, as seen in our Personal well-being in the UK: October 2016 to September 2017 bulletin. [...] In 2021, there were 5,583 suicides registered in England and Wales. Around three-quarters of the suicides were males. Suicide is the largest cause of death for men under 50. Higher rates of suicide are also found in minority communities, including war veterans, and those with low incomes. Less well-off middle-aged men are particularly likely to die by suicide.
