Middle Age is Highest Risk Time for Veteran Suicide ► FINCHANNEL

The FINANCIAL Scottish veterans face the highest risk of suicide in middle age, many years after leaving service. The study, led by the University of Glasgow in partnership with the Forces in Mind Trust and published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine, looked at the risk of suicide in veterans compared with people who had never served, and found that overall, their risk was no higher than non-veterans. Researchers found that the highest risk in both men and women veterans was people in their forties, which is also a high-risk age group in the wider community.

University of Glasgow - University news - Veterans more likely to lose limbs to disease than warfare

Issued: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 07:00:42 GMT The number of Scottish veterans who sustain an amputation through disease is far greater than the number who have lost limbs in conflict, according to new research. The study – from the University of Glasgow and published in BMJ Military Health – found that in the long term, the most common cause of limb loss in veterans is diabetes and peripheral arterial disease (blockage of arteries). The research also found that, despite veterans having more risk factors such as smoking, their rate of disease-related amputation is no different from people in the wider community.  During the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, more than 300 military personnel sustained injuries resulting in amputation but the number of UK veterans who lose limbs to disease has been largely unknown.
