"Suicide" is simply too rare, and too broad a category. Is not using a seat belt suicide? Is a heroin overdose? Is standing on a cliff to estimate what it would be like to jump and loosing ballance at the thought of it?
How many suicides were there in the 60000 studied, perhaps 10? That's not enough to derive a meaningful result, I think.
Edit: My estimate would be roughly correct, sad enough, ignoring my doubts on suicide as a cultural rather than medical category: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/5297916.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/5297916.stm
