Abstract

PURPOSE

This study examined the number of suicides in the Republic of Korea (ROK) Armed Forces and compared the relative suicide risk of military personnel with that in the general population.

METHODS

Age-, sex-, and calendar year-adjusted standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated to compare the number of suicides between the ROK Armed Forces and the general population.

RESULTS

Between 2011 and 2016, there were 405 suicides by ROK Armed Forces Personnel. The ROK Armed Forces had significantly fewer suicides than expected compared with the general population (SMR = 0.46, 95% confidence interval 0.41~0.50, based on 405 deaths). This was evident for both rank groups (soldiers and officers). In addition, a significant decrease was observed in the soldier group when comparing the SMR in 2016 with the previous 5-year average.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, during the period 2011-2016, the ROK Armed Forces had fewer suicides than expected when compared with the general population.

摘要

目的

本研究调查了韩国（ROK）武装部队的自杀人数，并比较了军人与普通人群的相对自杀风险。

方法

计算年龄、性别和日历年份调整后的标准化死亡率（SMR）和 95%置信区间，以比较 ROK 武装部队和普通人群的自杀人数。

结果

在 2011 年至 2016 年期间，有 405 名韩国武装部队人员自杀。与普通人群相比，ROK 武装部队的自杀人数明显较少（SMR=0.46，95%置信区间 0.41~0.50，基于 405 例死亡）。这在两个军衔群体（士兵和军官）中都很明显。此外，与前 5 年的平均水平相比，2016 年士兵组的 SMR 观察到显著下降。
