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.
