The aim of this study was to examine whether the hypothesized association between country of birth and suicide rates remains after adjustment for age, marital status, socioeconomic status, and hospitalization due to psychiatric disorders or substance abuse. A Swedish cohort of 4.4 million individuals aged 25-64 years was followed from January 1, 1994, to December 31, 1999 for suicide. Suicide rates varied according to country of birth. Among men the highest risk of suicide was found among men from Finland. Among women the highest risk of suicide was found among women from Finland, Poland, and Eastern Europe. Key factors to prevent suicide include early detection and treatment of psychiatric disorders and/or substance abuse, especially among certain population groups.
本研究的目的是检验在对年龄、婚姻状况、社会经济地位以及因精神障碍或药物滥用而住院的情况进行调整之后，出生国与自杀率之间的假设关联是否依然存在。对瑞典一个由440万年龄在25至64岁之间的个体组成的队列进行了随访，从1994年1月1日至1999年12月31日，观察自杀情况。自杀率因出生国而异。在男性中，自杀风险最高的是来自芬兰的男性。在女性中，自杀风险最高的是来自芬兰、波兰和东欧的女性。预防自杀的关键因素包括对精神障碍和/或药物滥用进行早期检测和治疗，尤其是在某些人群中。
