Previous research reported that economic crises may have important implications for increasing suicide rates. We investigated official data on completed suicide in Italy during the recent economic crisis as related to age and gender. Data were extracted from the Italian Mortality Database. The trend in suicide rates from 1980 to 2010 (the most recent year available) was analysed by joinpoint regression analysis. Rate ratios were calculated to compare suicide rates before and after the present economic crisis. Suicide rates for men 25-64 years of age (those involved in the labour force) started to increase in 2008 after a period of a statistically significant decrease from 1994 to 2007 and their suicide rate was 12% higher in 2010 compared with that in 2006. In contrast, suicide rates declined for women of all ages and for men younger than 25 and older than 65 years of age. After 2007, there was a noticeable increase in suicide rates among Italian men involved in the labour force.
先前的研究报告称，经济危机可能对自杀率上升具有重要影响。我们调查了意大利近期经济危机期间与年龄和性别相关的自杀既遂官方数据。数据取自意大利死亡率数据库。通过连接点回归分析对1980年至2010年（可获取数据的最近一年）的自杀率趋势进行了分析。计算了率比以比较当前经济危机前后的自杀率。25至64岁（劳动力群体）男性的自杀率在经历了1994年至2007年统计学显著下降后，于2008年开始上升，2010年的自杀率相比2006年高出12%。相比之下，所有年龄段女性以及25岁以下和65岁以上男性的自杀率均有所下降。2007年之后，意大利劳动力群体中男性的自杀率显著上升。
