Body mass index (BMI) has been linked with both increased and decreased risk of suicide attempts and deaths.
In a prospective cohort study of 1.1 million adults, participants reported their anthropometric and other characteristics in 1982. Participants were followed for cause-specific mortality through 2004.
A total of 2231 participants died of suicide during 21.6 million person-years of follow-up. Compared with a BMI of 18.5-22.9 kg/m(2), adjusted hazard ratios for completed suicide were 0.99 (95% confidence interval = 0.72-1.37), 0.78 (0.69-0.88), 0.73 (0.65-0.82), 0.72 (0.62-0.83), 0.77 (0.65-0.92), and 0.55 (0.36-0.83) for BMI values <18.5, 23.0-24.9, 25.0-27.4, 27.5-29.9, 30.0-34.9, and >or=35.0 kg/m(2), respectively. The relationship was consistent among men and women and across geographic regions, but was limited to married individuals (test for interaction, P = 0.009).
The risk of death from suicide is inversely related to BMI in middle-aged and older adults.
体重指数(BMI)与自杀未遂和自杀死亡的风险增加和降低均有关联。
在一项对 110 万成年人的前瞻性队列研究中,参与者在 1982 年报告了他们的人体测量学和其他特征。参与者在 2004 年之前被跟踪随访特定原因的死亡率。
在 2160 万人年的随访期间,共有 2231 名参与者死于自杀。与 BMI 为 18.5-22.9 kg/m(2)相比,调整后的自杀完成的风险比为 0.99(95%置信区间=0.72-1.37)、0.78(0.69-0.88)、0.73(0.65-0.82)、0.72(0.62-0.83)、0.77(0.65-0.92)和 0.55(0.36-0.83),分别对应 BMI 值<18.5、23.0-24.9、25.0-27.4、27.5-29.9、30.0-34.9 和≥35.0 kg/m(2)。这种关系在男性和女性以及在不同地理区域中均一致,但仅限于已婚个体(交互检验,P=0.009)。
在中年和老年人中,自杀死亡的风险与 BMI 呈负相关。
