在许多国家，特别是西方国家，自杀行为构成了一个重大的公共和精神卫生问题，并对初级和二级卫生保健机构造成了相当大的资源消耗（Schmidtke， 1997年）。在许多国家，自杀的人数远远高于交通事故造成的死亡人数。自杀行为有特定的年龄和性别文化（Leenaars, 1995）。在许多国家的某些年龄组，特别是年轻年龄组，自杀被列为仅次于事故的主要死亡原因之一。由于一些国家年龄金字塔的变化（老年人比例的增加），老年人自杀行为的问题也在增加（Gulbinat, 1996）。近年来，特别是在欧洲，各国自杀率的排名顺序发生了变化。这部分是由于国家的分裂。另一方面，一些国家历史上首次公布了官方自杀率。这篇论文将简要概述世界上最新的自杀数字。
In many countries, especially the Western countries, suicidal behavior constitutes a major public and mental health problem and a considerable drain on resources in both primary and secondary health care settings (Schmidtke, 1997). In numerous countries, the number of suicides is significantly higher than the number of deaths due to traffic accidents. There are age and gender specific cultures of suicidal behavior (Leenaars, 1995). In many countries in some age groups, especially the younger age groups, suicide is ranked after accidents as one of the leading causes of death. Due to the changing age pyramids in some countries (increasing percentage of older persons) the problem of suicidal behavior among the elderly is also increasing (Gulbinat, 1996). In recent years, especially in Europe, the rank order of suicide rates among the various countries has changed. This is partially due to the splitting up of countries. On the other hand, some countries have published official suicides rates for the first time in their history. This paper will provide a short overview of the latest available suicide figures in the world.
