No recent United States study has previously calculated national suicide rates by marital status for specific age, race, and sex categories in order to better identify high-risk groups for suicide. We used national vital statistics and census data to calculate marital-status-specific rates. Results show that for each marital status group, by age and sex, married persons have the lowest suicide rates and young widowed males have exceptionally high rates.
此前,美国最近没有一项研究按特定年龄、种族和性别类别计算过按婚姻状况划分的全国自杀率,以便更好地识别自杀高危群体。我们使用了国家生命统计数据和人口普查数据来计算按婚姻状况划分的自杀率。结果显示,按年龄和性别划分,在每个婚姻状况组中,已婚者的自杀率最低,而年轻丧偶男性的自杀率格外高。
