Income inequality is directly related to the mental health of the population. However, the relationship between income inequality and suicide rates in Colombia has still not been explored.
To estimate the relationship between inequality and suicide rates in Colombia from 1994 to 2013.
An ecological study was conducted, in which the correlation was estimated (Spearman) between inequality (Gini coefficient) and suicide rate between 1994 and 2013, according to official information available from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE), and the National Institute of Forensic Science and Forensic Medicine.
A Gini coefficient between 0.53 and 0.60 (median, 0.65 [interquartile range, 0.54-0.57]) was observed, and suicide rates were between 3.84 and 5.26 (median, 4.20 [4.08-4.86]). The correlation between inequality and suicide rates was positive and statistically significant (r=.70; p<.001).
There is a positive association between economic inequality and suicide rate in Colombia. It is important to achieve greater equity in the distribution of income to reduce suicide rate in the country.
收入不平等与民众心理健康直接相关。然而，哥伦比亚收入不平等与自杀率之间的关系仍未得到探讨。
估计1994年至2013年哥伦比亚不平等与自杀率之间的关系。
开展了一项生态研究，根据国家统计局（DANE）以及国家法医学和法医学研究所提供的官方信息，估计1994年至2013年期间不平等（基尼系数）与自杀率之间的相关性（斯皮尔曼相关性）。
观察到基尼系数在0.53至0.60之间（中位数为0.65 [四分位间距，0.54 - 0.57]），自杀率在3.84至5.26之间（中位数为4.20 [4.08 - 4.86]）。不平等与自杀率之间的相关性为正且具有统计学意义（r = 0.70；p < 0.001）。
哥伦比亚经济不平等与自杀率之间存在正相关。实现收入分配的更大公平对于降低该国自杀率很重要。
