World map of male to female ratios of suicide rates in 2015 (blue means more male suicides). Below the world maps of male (left) and female (right) suicide rates per 100,000 inhabitants used to derive the ratios (red means higher rates).

Summary:
- Men rope more often than women in all countries
- in eastern europe the male-female ratio is the highest = men rope most often compared to women here
- in china, india and some muslim countries around that area (like afghanistan, pakistan, iran) the male-female ratio is the lowest = women rope almost as often as men here
