I&#x27;m curious about this as well, but it seems that the disparity is fairly constant and not just extreme for ages &gt;75. The rate for men is over 4x that of women for ages 15-24 and over 3x that of women for ages 25-44.<p>There seems to be a variety of possible explanations for the difference [0] (which is common across several countries). One  of them is that cultural male gender roles make seeking help a shameful thing, so males are less likely to seek assistance for suicidal thoughts [1].<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Gender_differences_in_suicide" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Gender_differences_in_suicide</a>
