“…Vários estudos nacionais (3,7) e estrangeiros (13)(14)(15)(16) também apontaram a maior ocorrência de mortes por suicídio entre os homens. Diante disso, embora proporcionalmente tenham ocorrido mais suicídios por enforcamento, estrangulamento e sufocação em ambos os gêneros, na análise bivariada foram encontrados padrões diferenciados nas duas populações.…”

“…Estudos apontam que os homens, ao contrário das mulheres, podem reagir com maior repulsa à procura de ajuda profissional, tendo mais dificuldade em falar sobre si e sobre seus sentimentos, adquirindo comportamentos hostis e competitivos diante de situações difíceis (3,15) . Investigações evidenciam, ainda, a forte relação entre a ocorrência de comportamento suicida entre homens e fatores como a ausência parental e o elevado consumo de álcool e outras substâncias psicotrópicas (7,14) .…”

“…A tendência de utilização de métodos menos letais pelas mulheres pode resultar em maior probabilidade de insucesso na tentativa de suicídio tanto quanto na possibilidade de que a vítima seja socorrida ainda com vida, aumentando as chances de o óbito vir a ocorrer no hospital. Em contrapartida, observou--se que o domicílio foi o local onde ocorreram mais da metade dos óbitos, o que pode estar fortemente relacionado com a facilidade de acesso aos métodos que contribuem para a concretização do ato suicida, uma vez que utensílios, como os utilizados para o enforcamento, fazem parte da rotina diária, tornando a prevenção dessas mortes de difícil controle (3,7,15) .…”

Objective: to identify gender differences in suicide mortality in Northeastern Brazil. Methods: the deaths from suicide recorded in the Mortality Information System were analyzed. The Chi-square (x2) for independence and odds ratio tests were used. The time trend was evaluated by the Joinpoint method. Results: in the period studied there were 27,101 suicide deaths in the Northeast, with a predominance of the male gender (79.5%). Adolescent women, with high schooling, widows, and divorcees are more prone to suicide than men. The male gender is more likely to use firearms and hanging, while the female gender uses more smoke, fire and flames and self-intoxication to commit the act. The most significant increase in mortality was among men (3.1%; p<0.05). Conclusion: there was a greater prevalence and tendency to increase suicide among men, as they use more lethal means to commit the act compared to women.

“…The main reasons for this have been identified as being related to (i) aging, (ii) high illiteracy levels, (iii) low self-esteem, (iv) a fragile economic situation among families (low incomes in terms of paid pensions, since most of the rural population is retired), (vi) few job opportunities, and (vii) low levels of home care support to the most isolated residents. These factors are as such because areas with geographically dispersed residents have a very low population density, leading to isolation and loneliness in rural areas (10).…”

This paper describes the Quality-of-Life profile of the elderly residing in an inland region located at middle south of the Portugal main territory, presenting a larger area and low population density, which is composed of several items, extracted after statistics analysis of the data taken from the European Portuguese version of WHOQOL-BREF. Cross-sectional, descriptive study, with a random sample composed of elderly individuals residing in the community. Data collected by health professionals in the participants’ houses, using the European Portuguese WHOQOL-BREF instrument. The factorial validity was assessed by a confirmatory factor analysis. Appropriate statistical tests were used for comparison between mean Quality-of-Life scores according to gender, age group, marital status and educational level. Regression models were used to identify the biological and sociodemographic possible predictive factors of Quality-of-Life and the possible predictive domains of the General-Health-Facet. All Quality-of-Life domains and the General-Health-Facet decreased with advancing age. A higher and lower mean scores were observed, respectively for the Social Relationships and Physical Health domains. Males had higher mean Quality-of-Life scores than females, while widows and older women had the lowest ones when compared to other individuals. Educational level was the most significant sociodemographic predictive factor of Quality-of-Life domains, with scores increasing as the educational level increased. Moreover, Physical Health domain was the strongest predictor of the General-Health-Facet. The authors think that all the information extracted from the proposed Quality-of-Life profile, constitutes an important empirical basis that allow for more a detailed outcome of a concrete health care needs of the elderlies, leading to a concise planning and monitoring of health interventions and health policies management, extending the current general knowledge on Quality-of-Life. With this Quality-of-Life profile, which was never been made for the elderly population residing in Region of Baixo Alentejo, the authors expect “to find out what is really important for the elderlies, based on the rule: “better to know for better care”.

No século XVIII europeu, marcado pelas transformações nos estudos científicos, a publicação de impressos que discutissem a prática ou a vontade pelo suicídio ganhou certa relevância editorial. O documento aqui apresentado, intitulado "Relaçaõ de hum notavel caso, que aconteceo nesta cidade de Lisboa, e lamentavel succésso acontecido em o dia treze de Junho do anno de 1755. Copia de huma carta. Obra digna de attençaõ dos Leitores", foi publicado em Portugal sem indicação de casa tipográfica no mesmo ano do fato ocorrido. Sobre esta fonte inédita, indicamos algumas potencialidades temáticas de pesquisa de caráter historiográfico, especialmente em relação à morte por meio do suicídio e a compreensão católica desse ato naquele contexto. Por fim, comentamos, ainda que de modo breve, tanto alguns entendimentos sobre o texto, quanto a situação em si relatada.
