Compared with the general population, the suicides were more commonly never married (especially men aged 30\u201339 years), divorced, and widowed (especially women aged 60\u201369 years); living alone was more frequent among the suicides, as was living with parents among male suicides aged 25\u201339 years. A history of psychiatric admission was especially common among young male suicides who had never married or were living with parents.
