METHODS: The data on complete suicide cases used in this study were obtained from the national suicide registry of the Iranian Forensic Medicine Organization (FMO) that was registered between March 21, 2016 and March 20, 2020.
RESULTS: The total number of YLL due to premature death by suicide over the four-year period was 611068 years (15.97 per 1000 persons) in males, 286847 years (7.65 per 1000 persons) in females, and 897915 years (11.86 per 1000 persons) for both genders. Moreover, the age group of 15-29 years experienced the highest YLL attributed to suicide. Furthermore, the study revealed an increasing trend of YLL due to suicide among individuals aged 30-44.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the significant impact of suicide on the loss of potential years of life in Iran. The study indicates that the young and productive age groups of 15-29 and 30-44 years are particularly affected, with the highest YLL due to complete suicide. The study provides valuable insights for designing targeted and evidence-based suicide prevention programs that can reduce the burden of suicide in Iran, particularly among young and middle-aged adults.
方法:本研究中使用的完全自杀病例数据来自2016年3月21日至2020年3月20日注册的伊朗法医学组织(FMO)国家自杀登记处。
结果:在过去的四年中,男性因自杀而过早死亡的YLL总数为611068年(每1000人中有15.97人),286847岁(每1000人7.65岁)女性,和897915岁(每1000人11.86岁)。此外,15-29岁的年龄组经历了最高的YLL归因于自杀。此外,该研究显示,在30-44岁的人群中,自杀导致的YLL有增加的趋势。
结论:这些发现强调了自杀对伊朗潜在寿命损失的重大影响。研究表明,15-29岁和30-44岁的年轻和有生产力的年龄组尤其受到影响,最高的YLL是由于完全自杀。该研究为设计有针对性和循证的自杀预防计划提供了宝贵的见解,这些计划可以减轻伊朗的自杀负担,尤其是年轻人和中年人。
