An analysis of suicide and homicide rates was made for countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region using global burden disease data for 2000. The suicide/homicide ratio by age, sex and country level of income was calculated by dividing the suicide rate by the sum of the suicide and homicide rate. Males were more often victims of homicide whilst females were more often victims of suicide. For all male age groups except males 60+ years in high-income countries, the suicide/homicide ratio was 50% or less while for all female age groups except those 60+ years in high-income countries and females 5-14 years old in low- and middle-income countries, the suicide/homicide ratio was over 50%.
利用2000年全球疾病负担数据，对东地中海区域各国的自杀率和凶杀率进行了分析。通过将自杀率除以自杀率与凶杀率之和，计算出按年龄、性别和国家收入水平划分的自杀/凶杀比率。男性更常成为凶杀案的受害者，而女性更常成为自杀案的受害者。除高收入国家60岁及以上男性外，所有男性年龄组的自杀/凶杀比率均为50%或更低；除高收入国家60岁及以上女性以及低收入和中等收入国家5-14岁女性外，所有女性年龄组的自杀/凶杀比率均超过50%。
