Study on The Social Pathology of Suicide During Old Age and Family Background.

本研究的结果如下：就老年(60岁及以上)自杀率及其发生的区域特征而言，全国自杀高发率呈现出相当均匀的分布。然而，最近发现，自杀在年龄特别高、人口稀少的地区尤为明显。关于老年自杀和家庭背景，70岁以上的人，特别是那些失去亲人或未婚的人，会注意到这种行为。自杀的主要原因是疾病、对生活的担忧和不满意的家庭关系。然而，在家庭方面有足够的帮助和帮助的情况下，这种行为通常是被阻止的。至于自杀者的家庭背景，在几代人共同生活的家庭中，人们注意到健康的丧失以及无用和使命感的丧失，强烈的传统态度和价值观盛行。同样，在自杀率高的家庭中，想要或不想住在一起的愿望或意图、家庭内部的顽固态度以及缺乏足够的灵活性，都是比低自杀率地区或大多数老年人更明显的特征。

The results obtained for the present study are as follows :Regarding the rate of suicide during old age(60 years of age and above)and regional features of its occurrence, the high incidence of suicide appears fairly evenly distributed throughout the country. Recently, however, suicide has been found especially evident in areas whose widerly are particularly advanced in age and whose population is scarce. Regarding suicide during old age and family background, this behavior is noted in persons beyond the age of 70, particularly in those who have lost loved ones or are not married. The main reasons for suicide are sickness, warriness with life and unsatisfactory family relationships. However, this behavior has often prevented in cases where there have been adequate help and assistance on the part of the family. As for the family background of persons who commite suicide, the loss of health and a sense of uselessness and purpose has been noted in homes in which several generations live together and strong traditional attitudes and values prevail. Too, in high-suicide rate families, the desire or intention to live or not to live together, stubborn attidues within the family and the lack of adequate flexibility are features more evident than in low-suicide region or on the part of most elderly people.
