Preventing suicide among men in the middle years: Recommendations for suicide prevention programs.

Although men in the middle years (MIMY)—that is, men 35–64 years of age—represent 19
percent of the population of the United States, they account for 40 percent of the suicides in this
country. The number of men in this age group and their relative representation in the U.S. population
are both increasing. If the suicide rate among men ages 35–64 is not reduced, both the
number of men in the middle years who die by suicide and their contribution to the overall suicide
rate in the United States will continue to increase.
