Abstract
A negative linear correlation for crude suicide rates of elderly persons with fertility rates was reported earlier but may mask a curvilinear relation. A re-analysis of those data from 81 countries as reported in the World Health Organization and United Nations data banks yielded a curvilinear (U-shaped curve) relation. Explanations require further study.
摘要
此前有报道称老年人粗自杀率与生育率呈负线性相关，但这可能掩盖了一种曲线关系。对世界卫生组织和联合国数据库中所报告的来自81个国家的数据进行重新分析后，得出了一种曲线关系（U型曲线）。对此的解释需要进一步研究。
