Suicídio em adultos jovens brasileiros: série temporal de 1997 a 2019

Abstract

Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a série temporal da mortalidade por suicídio em adultos jovens brasileiros entre os anos de 1997 e 2019. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, de séries temporais com indivíduos de 20 a 29 anos. Para a análise de tendência foi utilizada a regressão de Prais-Winsten. No período, o coeficiente médio de suicídio em jovens brasileiros foi de 6,36/100 mil habitantes, apresentando tendência crescente, tanto o geral, quanto no sexo feminino e masculino. Em relação ao estado civil, houve maior proporção de suicídio entre solteiros (79,02%). Quanto as regiões brasileiras, a Sul apresentou o maior coeficiente médio de mortalidade (9,18/100 mil habitantes), e as regiões Nordeste, Norte e Sudeste mostraram tendência crescente. A maioria dos óbitos ocorreram no domicílio (54,93%) e houve tendência crescente tanto no domicílio, como os estabelecimentos de saúde e outros locais. Conclui-se que a tendência do suicídio em adultos jovens brasileiros foi crescente no período, com maiores proporções entre os solteiros. As regiões brasileiras apresentaram diferentes tendências, e o domicílio, estabelecimentos de saúde e outros locais seguiram uma tendência crescente para as mortes por suicídio em adultos jovens.

Suicides in Brazilian Federal Highway Police: A retrospective study with 20‐years' data (2001–2020)

“…Studies have shown that being married can be a protective factor against suicide in young adults in Brazil 17 . However, studies indicate that police officers who were married were more likely to commit suicide, 18,19 corroborating with our findings.…”

“…Studies have shown that being married can be a protective factor against suicide in young adults in Brazil. 17 However, studies indicate that police officers who were married were more likely to commit suicide, 18,19 corroborating with our findings. Conclusions on this association must be drawn with caution since information such as interpersonal conflicts between couples was not assessed and emotional related to interpersonal marriage conflicts might be strictly related to suicide.…”

“…FPHO had a higher mean suicide rate when compared with the global (9/100,000) 1 and Brazilian (5.8/100,000) rates 17 . However, FHPO had a lower suicide rate compared with military police officers from the states of São Paulo (21.7/100,000) and Ceará (33.3/100,000), Brazil 5,25 .…”

“…5,29,30 FPHO had a higher mean suicide rate when compared with the global (9/100,000) 1 and Brazilian (5.8/100,000) rates. 17 However, FHPO had a lower suicide rate compared with military police officers from the states of São Paulo (21.7/100,000) and Ceará (33.3/ 100,000), Brazil. 5,25 The variation in suicide rates might be explained by specific characteristics of military institutions (e.g., higher hierarchical pressure, extra informal working hours), which may increase the risk of suicide.…”

Societal factors and psychological distress indicators associated with the recent rise in youth suicide in Taiwan: A time trend analysis

“…A study of suicide rates among 15–24 year olds in 11 high-income countries in 2000–2017 showed an upturn from a previous downward trend in Australia and Canada in 2009 and 2007, respectively; in the United Kingdom and the United States, where the rise in youth suicide began from 2003 and 2007, respectively, youth suicide rates experienced a further increase from 2014 (Padmanathan et al, 2020). Recent rises in suicide rates were also found among 20–29 year olds in Brazil in 1997–2019 (Arruda et al, 2021), and among 15–19 year olds in Denmark and Turkey from 2014 and 2015, respectively (Eurostat, 2021). By contrast, recent youth suicide rates fluctuated or showed a downward trend in France, Italy, Poland, Spain, Germany, Japan and South Korea (Padmanathan et al, 2020).…”
