1972- 1973年在牛津地区进行的一项关于自我中毒和自我伤害的前瞻性研究和1969年的一项回顾性研究表明:(a)在自我中毒和自我伤害后进入综合医院的人数在3年半内增加了约45%。妇女的增长比男子更明显。(b)与以前的研究相比,牛津市的发病率在十年内翻了两番。(c)16岁及以上的男性和女性中,以这种方式伤害自己的人中,年龄在35岁以下的占74%和67%。重复性正在增加,三个月内重复尝试的比例为10%,六个月内为15%。(d)年龄在24-35岁之间的未成年妻子和单身、丧偶和离婚妇女的比例特别高。单身男子在35-45岁年龄组中的比例特别高。(e)除了25至34岁的已婚妇女和60岁以上的妇女外,城市地区的失业率高于农村地区。(f)在男子中,个人服务工作者、半熟练体力劳动者和非熟练体力劳动者的失业率较高。在妇女中,非体力劳动者、专业辅助人员(特别是护士)和半熟练体力劳动者的死亡率最高。男生的比率远低于其年龄组,而女生的比率与其年龄组大致相同。专业人员和自营职业者的失业率最低。
A prospective study of self-poisoning and self-injury in the Oxford area for 1972-73 and a retrospective study for 1969 has shown the following: (a) The number of admissions to a general hospital following self-poisoning and self-injury has increased by approximately 45% in 3 1/2 years. The increase is more marked in women than in men. (b) When compared with a previous study the incidence in Oxford city has quadrupled in ten years. (c) A total of 74% of men and 67% of women, aged 16 years and over, harming themselves in this way are under the age of 35 years. The repetitiveness is increasing and the proportion of those repeating the attempt was 10% within three months, and 15% within six months. (d) The rates are exceptionally high for teenage wives and single, widowed, and divorced women aged between 24-35 years. Single men show exceptionally high rates in the 35-45 year age group. (e) With the exception of married women aged between 25 and 34 years and women over 60, the rates were higher in urban than in rural areas. (f) In men the rates were higher among personal service workers, semi-skilled manual and unskilled manual workers. In women the rates were highest among non-manual, ancillary to professional (especially nurses), and semi-skilled manual workers. Male students had rates much lower than those of their age group, while female students had rates about the same as their age group. The lowest rates were among professional and 'own account' workers.
