Various observations:

unmarried status among women (aHR 1.59) or men (aHR 1.75)
never married status among women (aHR 1.65) or men (aHR 1.80)
low education level is only a significant risk factor for males (aHR 1.46)

aHR is adjusted hazard ratio.

Note that being single is the strongest social risk factor for men, but not the strongest risk factor overall. Substance abuse is e.g. a much larger risk factor with around aHR 4-7. The largest risk factor is psychiatric disorder, much larger for women (aHR 20.91) than for men (aHR 12.19). This is really curious I think. Provided that men are more relucatant to getting diagnosed (mostly because women prefer stoic men), this should select even for more pathological men, yet it is a stronger predictor for women. This may be a great confirmation of the stereotype that female suicide is more often due to mental illness rather than a tangible problem.

MGTOW:

1% Rich old white men who can afford long vacations to travel all around the world.

99% Un- or underemployed men affected by crippling poverty and suicidal depression in their basements.

Being single doesn't really hurt you that much in 20s, even in 30s. But late 30s and beyond it starts to sting hard.

But there's a reason for this, if you think about it: even beyond the sex question, the only people who really care about you in this world are your immediate family. When you age, your parents grow old and die. Your siblings start families of their own.

Friends don't really give a shit about you, and they all start families as well.

So if you don't start a family with kids, you are literally alone. Nobody, and I mean nobody, gives a shit if you lose your job, your apartment or house, become homeless and sick, and drop dead on the street.

It's not an easy way to live. Why do you think all these middle aged men are killing themselves. They are either single or divorce raped.

I doubt it's necessarily being just single. I've never been married, nor will I ever marry, but have always been happy and never considered suicide. But, I get laid a lot. I imagine it's incels throwing off the curve, since they are by definition single.
