“…Studies included in this article showed different lifestyle behaviors in different lifestages. In adolescent and young adults there are multiple important risk factors for suicide including psychosis, depression, low sleep satisfaction, high stress, substance abuse, alcohol consumption, smoking, sexual activity, internet addiction, interpersonal factors, personality disorders, anxiety or conduct disorders, eating disorders, and aggressive, irritable and antisocial tendencies ( 38 , 39 ). Though it has been demonstrated that school-based suicide prevention programs increase knowledge on suicide without really preventing suicidal behaviors ( 133 ), it seems necessary to consider prevention programs that identify substance abuse, educational competencies (literacy, study skills, time management), educational environment, school programs, social interactions, academic attainment, cognitive progress, emotional control, behavioral expectations, physical and moral development, and encouragement of active engagement in sports.…”

“…Im et al ( 38 ) examined 370,568 students with the aim of recognizing risk factors for suicidal ideation in adolescents found that low sleep satisfaction, high stress, alcohol consumption, smoking, and sexual activity, were significant lifestyle factors associated with suicidal ideation. Lee et al ( 39 ) in a sample of 860 adolescents confirmed the relationship between several lifestyle behaviors and suicide risk including sleep disturbance, internet game addiction, and interpersonal factors (e.g., family conflicts and peer problems).…”

Over the past years, there has been a growing interest in the association between lifestyle psychosocial interventions, severe mental illness, and suicide risk. Patients with severe mental disorders have higher mortality rates, poor health states, and higher suicide risk compared to the general population. Lifestyle behaviors are amenable to change through the adoption of specific psychosocial interventions, and several approaches have been promoted. The current article provides a comprehensive review of the literature on lifestyle interventions, mental health, and suicide risk in the general population and in patients with psychiatric disorders. For this purpose, we investigated lifestyle behaviors and lifestyle interventions in three different age groups: adolescents, young adults, and the elderly. Several lifestyle behaviors including cigarette smoking, alcohol use, and sedentary lifestyle are associated with suicide risk in all age groups. In adolescents, growing attention has emerged on the association between suicide risk and internet addiction, cyberbullying and scholastic and family difficulties. In adults, psychiatric symptoms, substance and alcohol abuse, weight, and occupational difficulties seems to have a significant role in suicide risk. Finally, in the elderly, the presence of an organic disease and poor social support are associated with an increased risk of suicide attempt. Several factors may explain the association between lifestyle behaviors and suicide. First, many studies have reported that some lifestyle behaviors and its consequences (sedentary lifestyle, cigarette smoking underweight, obesity) are associated with cardiometabolic risk factors and with poor mental health. Second, several lifestyle behaviors may encourage social isolation, limiting the development of social networks, and remove individuals from social interactions; increasing their risk of mental health problems and suicide.

“…Furthermore, violence at home often seems to be found in the background history of young suicide cases, not only specifically against the child, but more as a way of dealing with problems between family members. Parental divorce as such is only weakly associated with suicide of the children involved, and this association is probably confounded by the practical, financial and socio-economic implications of living in a single-parent family or relational background factors related to the divorce ( 29 ).…”

Suicide and Youth: Risk Factors

2018

Suicide occurs more often in older than in younger people, but is still one of the leading causes of death in late childhood and adolescence worldwide. This not only results in a direct loss of many young lives, but also has disruptive psychosocial and adverse socio-economic effects. From the perspective of public mental health, suicide among young people is a main issue to address. Therefore we need good insight in the risk factors contributing to suicidal behavior in youth. This mini review gives a short overview of the most important risk factors for late school-age children and adolescents, as established by scientific research in this domain. Key risk factors found were: mental disorders, previous suicide attempts, specific personality characteristics, genetic loading and family processes in combination with triggering psychosocial stressors, exposure to inspiring models and availability of means of committing suicide. Further unraveling and knowledge of the complex interplay of these factors is highly relevant with regard to the development of effective prevention strategy plans for youth suicide.

“…The lack of association between physical education and suicidal ideation in female students may be partly attributable to lower interest among girls in physical education due to self-consciousness, low motivation [45], and competence [46,47]. However, suicidal ideation rates are higher in female than in male adolescents [48], so further research is urgently warranted to determine how educators can encourage more participation in physical education among young women.…”

Adolescents are at high risk of suicidal ideation and stress. This study aimed to investigate how physical education participation predicts suicidal ideation and stress in South Korean high school students. Data from the Twelfth Korea Youth Risk Behaviour Web-Based Survey 2016 (KYRBS) were used for analyses. Two multiple logistic regressions were performed to determine the influence of selected factors on suicidal ideation and stress (model 1: subjective health, social support, body mass index, academic achievement, perceived economic status of family, and physical education participation; model 2: adjusting for school type and year). Model 2 revealed negative associations between subjective health, academic achievement, perceived economic status of family, social support, physical education participation (≥2 times/weekly), and suicidal ideation for male students. Female students exhibited negative associations between subjective health, social support, and academic achievement, along with a positive association between body mass index and suicidal ideation. For both genders, stress was negatively associated with subjective health, social support, academic achievement, perceived economic status of family, and physical education participation (≥2 times/weekly). These findings suggest that participating in physical education can mitigate the risk of suicidal ideation and stress among high school students.
