"Figure 7: Men aged 10 to 24 years and 45 to 64 years have seen some of the greatest increases in suicide rates","" "Age-specific suicide rates by broad age group, males, deaths that occurred in England and Wales 2001 to 2018","" "","" "Notes","1. Figures are for males aged 10 years and over. 2. Figures for England and Wales (combined) include deaths of non-residents, and are based on the latest postcode boundaries. 3. Figures are based on the date people died and are for all deaths registered to the end of 2019. Because of the length of time it takes coroners to certify deaths caused by suicide, around five to six months on average, the analysis will capture most suicides that occurred to the end of study period – 2018 – however, it is possible that the estimates could change, upwards, when subsequent death registrations are analysed."
