Suicide is one of the main causes of violent death worldwide, and has become a public health issue. Since alcohol consumption is associated with the increase in the number of suicides and hanging is one of the main methods used worldwide, the present study consists of an epidemiological analysis of BACs in victims of suicide by hanging autopsied in the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The objective of the present work was to establish an epidemiological profile and evaluate blood alcohol concentrations in victims of suicide by hanging in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, in the year of 2007. A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted by collection of secondary data from autopsy reports of victims of hanging. According to the present study, positive results for alcohol were higher in male victims, but the mean BAC was higher in women.
自杀是全球暴力死亡的主要原因之一，已成为一个公共卫生问题。由于饮酒与自杀人数的增加有关，且上吊是全球主要的自杀方式之一，本研究对巴西圣保罗州经尸检的上吊自杀受害者的血液酒精浓度进行了流行病学分析。本研究的目的是建立2007年巴西圣保罗州上吊自杀受害者的流行病学概况并评估其血液酒精浓度。通过收集上吊自杀受害者尸检报告中的二手数据进行了一项横断面回顾性研究。根据本研究，男性受害者的酒精检测阳性结果更高，但女性的平均血液酒精浓度更高。
