COPENHAGEN, Dec 12 ― A study conducted on health data for the entire population of Denmark has identified risk factors for suicide that can vary depending on the profile of those at risk. Suffering from a physical illness, for example, is a more common factor in male suicides than it is in female suicides.

The results showed, for example, that illness and physical injuries increased the risk of suicide in men, but not in women. The researchers also found that the risk was higher for people diagnosed with psychiatric disorders who had been prescribed psychotropic medications four years before committing suicide than it was when prescriptions were written six months before.
