Associations between cholesterol and suicidal behavior in adolescent patients have not been explored in depth. In this study, 66 patients consecutively admitted to a psychiatric inpatient unit following attempted suicide were compared with a control group of 54 patients with no history of suicide attempts. The age range of the sample was from 8 to 18 years old. Cholesterol levels were significantly lower in attempted suicide patients than in controls (p < 0.02), supporting the hypothesis that lower cholesterol levels might be associated with suicidal behavior in patients with similar acute phase of their disorder.
胆固醇与青少年患者自杀行为之间的关联尚未得到深入探讨。在这项研究中，我们将 66 名连续入院的试图自杀的精神科住院患者与无自杀史的 54 名对照组患者进行了比较。样本的年龄范围为 8 至 18 岁。试图自杀的患者的胆固醇水平明显低于对照组（p<0.02），这支持了这样一种假说，即较低的胆固醇水平可能与处于疾病急性发作期的患者的自杀行为有关。
