本文评估了巴西老年男性的自杀情况。文本基于对性别和男子气概的研究，强调父权主义逻辑中的“霸权男子气概”，在自杀的情况下，表现为失业，作为一种存在主义的参照和荣誉的丧失。该研究包括2007年至2010年期间在该国10个地区自杀的40名60岁以上男性。使用心理社会解剖技术，收集和分析数据，包括他们的历史和生活方式;对行为背景的评估;对其家庭的影响;方法的致命性;接近支持来源;以前的尝试;行为之前的精神状态;家庭和社区的反应。虽然许多因素与这个社会群体中的自杀有关，但与老年妇女相比，老年男子自杀占主导地位的男性主导文化的影响是不可否认的。在从工作生活过渡到退休、失去或失去重要家庭成员的时刻，以及在被诊断患有慢性和变性疾病导致残疾、丧失自主权或阳痿的时刻，必须特别关注男子。
This paper assesses the suicide of elderly men in Brazil. The text is based on studies of gender and masculinity and emphasizes the sense of "hegemonic masculinity" within the logic of patriarchalism that, in the case of suicide, is expressed in the loss of employment as an existential reference and as a loss of honor. The study includes 40 cases of men over 60 who committed suicide between 2007 and 2010 in ten districts of the country. Using the psychosocial autopsy technique, data were collected and analyzed from their history and lifestyle; evaluation of the background to the act; the impact on their families; lethality of the method; proximity to sources of support; previous attempts; mental status which preceded the act; reaction of families and communities. Although many factors are associated with self-inflicted death in this social group, the influence of a hegemonic masculinity culture in the predominance of suicides among elderly men compared with elderly women is undeniable. It is essential to give special attention to men at the moment of transition from working life to retirement, loss or important family members, and when they are diagnosed with chronic and degenerative diseases that cause disabilities, loss of autonomy or sexual impotence.
