This article gives an account of some findings of the WHO/EURO multicentre study on parasuicide from the five Nordic centres: Helsinki (Finland), Stockholm (Sweden), and the countries of Funen (Denmark), Sø-Trøndelag (Norway) and Västerbotten (Sweden). For parasuicide patients treated in hospital in these five Nordic centres, the parasuicide rates per 100,000 inhabitants per annum were 222 for women, 213 for men and 224 for both sexes combined. In all the Nordic centres except Helsinki, women had higher parasuicide rates than men. The female/male parasuicide ratio was 1.16 for all Nordic centres. The highest parasuicide rates in the whole material were found in Helsinki, Stockholm and Funen, and the lowest in Sør-Trøndelag and Västerbotten. The highest parasuicide rates lay in the 30-39 age interval, i.e. the peak of parasuicide rates was in older age groups than previously reported. Single people, especially divorcees and those who have never been married, constitute a high-risk group in both sexes. The risk of parasuicide for single men is three times that for married men in all the Nordic centres except Sør-Trøndelag, where the risk is five times higher. The parasuicide risk for single women is twice as high as for married women except for women in Funen, where the risk for single and married women is almost equal. Exceptionally high parasuicide rates are also reported for Finnish citizens in Sweden, compared with Finns from the Helsinki centre. Parasuicide rates appear to be correlated with population density, since the densely populated areas of Helsinki, Stockholm and Funen evince higher parasuicide rates than the sparsely populated areas of Sør-Trøndelag and Västerbotten.
本文介绍了世界卫生组织/欧洲区域办事处关于自杀未遂的多中心研究在五个北欧中心的一些研究结果，这五个中心分别是：赫尔辛基（芬兰）、斯德哥尔摩（瑞典），以及丹麦的菲英岛、挪威的南特伦德拉格郡和瑞典的西诺尔兰郡。在这五个北欧中心接受住院治疗的自杀未遂患者中，每年每10万居民的自杀未遂率女性为222、男性为213，男女合计为224。在除赫尔辛基之外的所有北欧中心，女性的自杀未遂率均高于男性。所有北欧中心的女性/男性自杀未遂比率为1.16。在整个研究样本中，自杀未遂率最高的是赫尔辛基、斯德哥尔摩和菲英岛，最低的是南特伦德拉格郡和西诺尔兰郡。自杀未遂率最高的年龄段为30 - 39岁，即自杀未遂率的峰值出现在比之前报告的年龄更大的人群中。单身人士，尤其是离婚者和从未结婚者，在男女两性中均构成高危群体。除南特伦德拉格郡外，在所有北欧中心，单身男性自杀未遂的风险是已婚男性的三倍，而在南特伦德拉格郡，这一风险高出五倍。除菲英岛的女性外，单身女性自杀未遂的风险是已婚女性的两倍，在菲英岛，单身女性和已婚女性的风险几乎相等。与来自赫尔辛基中心的芬兰人相比，居住在瑞典的芬兰公民的自杀未遂率也异常高。自杀未遂率似乎与人口密度相关，因为赫尔辛基、斯德哥尔摩和菲英岛人口密集地区的自杀未遂率高于南特伦德拉格郡和西诺尔兰郡人口稀少的地区。
