To review the available literature on the association between daily and longer-term weather data and the incidence of attempted and completed suicide.
A computerized search supplemented by a cross-check of the references sections of the thereby identified papers was performed.
A total of 27 studies looking for a relationship between attempted or completed suicide and weather or climate data were found. Most of the papers reported a statistical association of suicidal acts with at least one weather factor. However, the results are not conclusive and in part contradictory.
Possibly due to the high variance in methodological approaches of the studies it is not possible to identify a specific weather condition associated with a generally higher risk for suicide. Weather and seasonal effects may interact with each other. Environmental effects on brain function and weather-related interactions of people may be involved in the occurrence of suicidal behaviour.
回顾关于每日及长期天气数据与自杀未遂及自杀死亡发生率之间关联的现有文献。
进行计算机检索，并对由此识别出的论文的参考文献部分进行交叉核对。
共找到27项探寻自杀未遂或自杀死亡与天气或气候数据之间关系的研究。大多数论文报告了自杀行为与至少一种天气因素之间的统计学关联。然而，结果并不确凿，部分相互矛盾。
可能由于研究方法的高度差异，无法确定与自杀风险普遍较高相关的特定天气状况。天气和季节效应可能相互作用。环境对大脑功能的影响以及人与天气相关的相互作用可能与自杀行为的发生有关。
