作者提供了从法医S的调查报告中提取的数据，将246例50岁以上的已完成自杀事件分为四个年龄组。样本人群在性别分布方面符合流行病学研究。随着年龄的增长，更多的自杀受害者是寡妇，单身、分居或离婚的自杀受害者明显减少。随着年龄的增长，暴力自杀方式更加普遍，酗酒和精神病史越来越少。身体疾病和丧失成为最常见的可确定的自杀诱因，而工作、经济和家庭关系问题随着年龄的增长而减少。讨论了在初级保健环境中未来研究和干预的指征。
The authors present data abstracted from medical examiner''s investigative reports of 246 completed suicides of persons over the age of 50 years classified into four age groups. The sample population conformed to epidemiologic studies with regard to sex distribution. With increasing age, more suicide victims were widowed, and significantly fewer were single, seperated, or divorced. Violent methods of suicide were more prevalent and alcohol use and psychiatric histories less common with aging. Physical illness and loss became the most common definable precipitants to suicide, whereas job, financial, and family relationship problems became less frequent with increasing age. The indications for future research and intervention in primary care settings are discussed.
