title: Suicidal age and childhood onychophagia among neurotic veterans.
abstract: Investigated the relationship between childhood onychophagia (fingernail biting) and the suicidal and non-suicidal mean age among 60 hospitalized neurotic veterans. The results show no significant mean age difference between suicidal and non-suicidal veterans; neither does the childhood onychophagia variable "focal suicide" significantly lower either the mean age of suicidal veterans or the mean age of non-suicidal veterans.
