Alcohol use has several consequences and is one of the variables that increase risk of suicide. This meta-analysis was performed using cohort studies to clarify the association of alcohol use and suicide. Scientific sources were reviewed regarding the keywords. After screening, thirty cohort studies were identified for the meta-analysis. The analysis was performed based on the random effects and subsequent analysis of the subgroups, based on various variables. Analysis of the results showed that there is a relationship between alcohol use and suicide. Risk Ratio (RR) between alcohol use and suicide was 1.65. In men, pooled RR was 1.56 with 95% CI = 1.20-2.03, and in women, the pooled RR was equal to 1.40 with 95% CI = 1.11-1.77. Overall, the findings indicate that alcohol use is a risk factor for suicide. Therefore, it seems that prevention and control of alcohol use can be effective in promoting mental health.
饮酒有多种后果，是增加自杀风险的变量之一。本荟萃分析使用队列研究来阐明饮酒与自杀之间的关联。针对关键词检索了科学文献。筛选后，确定了 30 项队列研究进行荟萃分析。分析基于随机效应进行，并随后根据各种变量对亚组进行了分析。结果分析表明，饮酒与自杀之间存在关联。饮酒与自杀的风险比（RR）为 1.65。男性的合并 RR 为 1.56，95%置信区间（CI）为 1.20-2.03，女性的合并 RR 等于 1.40，95%CI 为 1.11-1.77。总体而言，研究结果表明饮酒是自杀的一个风险因素。因此，似乎预防和控制饮酒可以有效促进心理健康。
