The authors conducted a record linkage study of the birth, conscription, mortality, family, and census register data of 1,299,177 Swedish men followed from age 18 to a maximum of age 49.

Standard deviations of heights and their suicide risk relative to baseline -0.5 to <0.5ᵇ.
Height Suicide

<-2 : +54% (1.27-1.86)
-2 to <-1.5 : +12% (0.94-1.34)
-1.5 to <-1 : +18% (1.04-1.34)
-1 to <-0.5 : +11% (1.01-1.22)
-0.5 to <0.5ᵇ : 0% (1)
0.5 to <1. : -5% (0.85-1.07)
1 to <1.5 : -14% (0.76-0.99)
1.5 to <2. : -17% (0.66-1.03)
>2 : -28% (0.53-0.97)

Hazard ratio per 5cm increase in height is 0.91 (95% CI 0.88–0.93).
Meaning for every 5cm of height, the estimated suicide risk was 9% lower.

Model 4 is the most fully adjusted model.

Graph I made with each model and their confidence interval (vertical lines at each point).
