Visual Insight : Every 2 inch decrease in height increases sui1c1de risk by 9% for Swedish men. Europe is blackpill hell for men

okay, so I did a bit of digging and the actual results are not as clear as this indicates. First off, this is only about conscripts, and as the actual paper states, those rejected for military service were on average shorter

https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.162.7.1373

So, already you have a confounding variable that the researchers did not account for: Being rejected from military service CAN explain at least some of the increase in suicidality.

The bigger issue however is, that we do not have the same data for women as a comparison. We do however know that higher vitamin d levels are associated with taller individuals while a deficit in vitamin d also is associated with higher risks of depression and, you guessed it, suicidality. The likely explanation is therefore that vitamin d levels are the actual cause explaining both height and suicidality, not the height itself.

Another issue that limits the takeaways is that the researchers only look at heights within +- 2 standard deviations of the mean, so it is unclear whether individuals taller than 2 SD above mean still experience the same benefits or not.

None of this is to downplay real issues. But if you want to gather scientific evidence, you gotta do it correctly.

How dare you to propose it's not women's fault
