Abstract

Suicide is a leading cause of mortality in the United States, with an ageadjusted rate of 14.1 deaths per 100,000 population in 2021 (1). Older adults tend to have higher rates of suicide, although they represent a low percentage of the total number of suicides (2). Factors that specifically affect older adults can include declines in physical and cognitive functioning, changes in mental health, and other factors often associated with getting older, like bereavement, loneliness, and lack of social connectedness (3-8). This report presents suicide rates for adults age 55 and older by sex and mechanism of suicide.

2021 年 55 岁及以上成年人的自杀情况。
在美国,自杀是导致死亡的主要原因之一,2021 年经年龄调整后的死亡率为每 10 万人中有 14.1 人自杀(1)。老年人的自杀率往往较高,尽管他们在自杀总人数中所占比例较低(2)。特别影响老年人的因素可能包括身体和认知功能的下降、心理健康的变化,以及其他通常与年龄增长相关的因素,如丧亲、孤独和缺乏社会联系(3-8)。本报告按性别和自杀机制列出了 55 岁及以上成年人的自杀率。
