Abstract

Objective

The objective of this study was to provide an updated analysis of suicide characteristics in China from 2002 to 2021, with the aim of informing the development of evidence-based suicide prevention strategies.

Methods

The Ministry of Health-Vital Registration System (MOH-VR) provided the data on suicide mortality, which enabled us to examine the average annual percentage change (AAPC) in suicide rates using a Poisson regression model.

Results

Notably, there has been a significant decline in suicide rates observed in both urban and rural areas. In the early years of the study period, higher suicide rates were observed among females compared to males; however, a shift occurred after 2005, with male suicide rates surpassing those of females. Except for 2005, rural areas consistently exhibited higher suicide rates than urban areas. Furthermore, suicide rates exhibited an increasing trend with age, irrespective of gender or region.

Conclusion

These findings highlight a decreasing trend in suicide rates in China over the past two decades, although gender and regional disparities persist. Going forward, sustained efforts in suicide prevention, with a specific focus on mental health, are warranted.

中国的自杀现象：2002 至 2021 年中国自杀率的趋势与差异》。

研究目的本研究旨在对2002年至2021年中国的自杀特征进行最新分析，为制定循证自杀预防策略提供参考：方法：由卫生部生命登记系统（MOH-VR）提供自杀死亡率数据，利用泊松回归模型研究自杀率的年均百分比变化（AAPC）：值得注意的是，城市和农村地区的自杀率都有明显下降。在研究初期，女性自杀率高于男性；但 2005 年后，情况发生了变化，男性自杀率超过了女性。除 2005 年外，农村地区的自杀率一直高于城市地区。此外，随着年龄的增长，自杀率也呈上升趋势，与性别或地区无关：这些研究结果表明，在过去二十年中，中国的自杀率呈下降趋势，但性别和地区差异依然存在。展望未来，有必要继续努力预防自杀，特别是关注心理健康。
