Abstract

Aims: This ecological comparison study explored temporal trends since 1985 in age-adjusted suicide and homicide rates for older male adults (over the age of 65) resident in the EU and the Russian Federation.

Methods: The data were extracted from the World Health Organization's (WHO) European mortality database.

Results: Older men resident in the Russian Federation had a higher risk of dying a violent death (by homicide and by suicide) than their younger compatriots (relative risks (RR) ranging from 1.13 to 1.31). Conversely, in the EU, older men had a higher risk of dying from suicide (RRs of 1.52 for men over the age of 65 and 3.27 for men over the age of 75) and a lower risk of being victims of homicide (RRs ranging between 0.84 and 0.89) than their younger compatriots.

Conclusions: The European region is characterized by great inequalities in rates of violent deaths among the elderly.

俄罗斯和欧盟男性老年人的暴力死亡。

目的:本生态比较研究探讨了1985年以来居住在欧盟和俄罗斯联邦的老年男性(65岁以上)年龄调整后自杀和凶杀率的时间趋势。方法:数据取自世界卫生组织(WHO)欧洲死亡率数据库。结果:居住在俄罗斯联邦的老年男性死于暴力死亡(他杀和自杀)的风险高于年轻同胞(相对风险(RR)为1.13至1.31)。相反，在欧盟，老年男性死于自杀的风险更高(65岁以上男性的相对危险度为1.52,75岁以上男性的相对危险度为3.27)，而成为凶杀受害者的风险较低(相对危险度在0.84至0.89之间)。结论:欧洲区域的特点是老年人的暴力死亡率极不平等。
