NCHS Data Brief. 2022 Mar(433):1-8.
In 2020, suicide was the 12th leading cause of death for all ages in the United States, changing from the 10th leading cause in 2019 due to the emergence of COVID-19 deaths and increases in deaths from chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (1). As the second leading cause of death in people aged 10-34 and the fifth leading cause in people aged 35-54, suicide is a major contributor to premature mortality (1). Suicide rates increased from 2000 to 2018 (2-5), but recent data have shown declines between 2018 and 2020 (6,7). This report presents final suicide rates from 2000 through 2020, in total and by sex, age group, and means of suicide, using mortality data from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS). This report updates a provisional 2020 report and a previous report with final data through 2019 (6,7).
2020 年，自杀是美国所有年龄段人群的第 12 大死因，在 COVID-19 死亡人数和慢性肝病及肝硬化死亡人数增加的影响下，自杀从 2019 年的第 10 大死因变为第 12 大死因(1)。自杀是 10-34 岁人群的第二大死因，是 35-54 岁人群的第五大死因，是导致过早死亡的主要原因之一(1)。自杀率从 2000 年到 2018 年呈上升趋势(2-5)，但最近的数据显示 2018 年到 2020 年期间有所下降(6,7)。本报告利用国家生命统计系统(NVSS)的死亡率数据，报告了 2000 年至 2020 年期间总自杀率和按性别、年龄组及自杀方式划分的最终自杀率。本报告更新了 2020 年的一份临时报告和一份截至 2019 年的最终数据报告(6,7)。
