Strong inverse association between male height and suicide

A 2005 Swedish study followed a large cohort of men from age 18-49 and noticed a 9% decrease in suicide risk for every 5cm (2 inch) increment in height. 

You can find the American Journal Of Pyschiatry article here.

The average height of Swedish men is around 5'11, which is two inches taller than those here in the U.S. I don't see any references to the median height of the men studied. Also, Sweden is by far more mono-racial than over here, or at least it was when the study concluded 20 years ago.

What I'm trying to say is, if you're a short man in Sweden, there is no escape. Here, you can go to immigrant enclaves or the major cities where there is more height variance and fit in.
