Australian suicide rates were compared for the 1969-73 and 1976-80 periods by age, sex and State. Rates for males were generally at least twice those for females. The sex difference was marked, irrespective of age, State and time period. Middle-aged and older Australians generally had higher rates than 20-29-year-olds, although this finding was not consistent by State for males. The national age-standardised suicide rate for all age groups combined decreased between the 1969-73 period and 1976-80 both for males and (more so) for females. However, there was a 24% increase for 20-29-year-old males. While the suicide rate for 20-29-year-old females decreased between the 1969-73 period and 1976-80, an analysis of yearly trends within the 1976-80 period revealed an upward trend for individuals aged 20-29 years, for both females and males.
按年龄、性别和州对1969 - 1973年和1976 - 1980年期间澳大利亚的自杀率进行了比较。男性的自杀率总体上至少是女性的两倍。无论年龄、州和时间段如何，性别差异都很明显。澳大利亚中年及老年人群的自杀率通常高于20 - 29岁人群，不过这一发现对于男性而言在各州并不一致。1969 - 1973年至1976 - 1980年期间，所有年龄组合计的全国年龄标准化自杀率，男性和女性（女性降幅更大）均有所下降。然而，20 - 29岁男性的自杀率上升了24%。虽然1969 - 1973年至1976 - 1980年期间20 - 29岁女性的自杀率下降了，但对1976 - 1980年期间的年度趋势分析显示，20 - 29岁的男性和女性自杀率均呈上升趋势。
