背景：自杀是日本和美国最重要的公共卫生问题之一。这项研究旨在澄清两国之间、美国境内不同种族之间、性别和年龄组之间自杀方法的差异。方法：使用日本和美国 1999 年的生命统计死亡率数据和估计人口。使用日本和美国的分年龄总人口作为标准人口计算年龄调整死亡率。此外，还计算了自杀方法的比例分布。结果：与美国相比，日本男性的年龄调整自杀死亡率约为美国的 2 倍，女性的自杀死亡率约为美国的 3 倍。在日本，男女最常见的方法是绞刑，其次是从高处跳下。在美国，男女都持有枪支，其次是男性中的上吊和女性中的毒品。对于在美国的亚洲人来说，绞刑是大约一半的男女选择的方法；对于40岁或以上年龄组的男性和所有年龄组的女性来说，绞刑是最常见的方法。枪支是20-39岁男性的首选方式。结论：尽管美国亚裔总体自杀率低于日本，但方法与日本相似。
BACKGROUND: Suicide is one of the most important public health issues in both Japan and the United States. This study is to clarify the differences in methods of suicide between the two countries, among various races within the United States, and between genders and age-groups. METHODS: Vital statistics mortality data and the estimated population in 1999 in Japan and in the United States were used. Age-adjusted mortality rates were calculated using the age-specific total population of Japan and the United States as a standard population. In addition, the proportionate distribution of suicide methods was calculated. RESULTS: Age-adjusted mortality rates from suicide in Japan were about 2 times higher for males and 3 times higher for females compared with the United States. The most common method among both genders in Japan was hanging, followed by jumping from a high place. In the United States, it was firearms among both genders, followed by hanging among males and drugs among females. For Asians in the United States, hanging was the method of choice for about half among both genders; hanging was the most common method for the age group of 40 years or more among males and for all age groups among females. Firearms were the method of choice for the 20-39 age group among males. CONCLUSIONS: Although the overall suicide rates among Asians in the United States were lower than Japan, the methods were similar to those in Japan.
