3. Suicide is the number one cause of death of men under 35

4. Men are 3 times more likely to be alcohol dependent

5. Only 36% of referrals to psychological therapies are men

6. 73% of people who go missing are men

7. 87% of rough sleepers are men

8. Men report significantly lower life satisfaction particularly with those aged 45-59

9. 95% of the prison population is men - 72% of them suffer from 2 or more mental disorders
