To evaluate changes in standardized suicide rates in Brazil between 2000 and 2016, stratified by sex and age.
Descriptive analyses of data from the Brazilian Mortality Information System were performed.
156,292 suicides were registered in the period, with a standardized rate of 4.82/100,000. The risk for males was 3.81 times higher than for females, without meaningful regional variations. This ratio was 8.2 at the 80+ group. An increase from 2000 to 2016 was demonstrated in nearly all subgroups over the 17, especially men aged 20-39 and women aged 40-59.
Suicide rates continue to rise in Brazil, especially among young men and middle-aged women. Older men remain exposed to the highest absolute risk.
评估 2000 年至 2016 年期间巴西按性别和年龄分层的标准化自杀率变化。
对巴西死亡率信息系统的数据进行描述性分析。
在此期间，共登记了 156,292 例自杀事件，标准化率为 4.82/100,000。男性的风险是女性的 3.81 倍，没有明显的区域差异。在 80+组中，该比值为 8.2。在 17 岁以上的几乎所有亚组中，都显示出从 2000 年到 2016 年的自杀率持续上升，尤其是 20-39 岁的男性和 40-59 岁的女性。
巴西的自杀率持续上升，尤其是在年轻男性和中年女性中。老年男性仍然面临着最高的绝对风险。
