Abstract

Abstract The purpose of the paper was to use new longitudinal data to investigate the impact of marital status on suicide, and test Durkheim’s marital status propositions. Previous research found marital status was associated with suicide, but some studies neglected sex, most of the research was cross-sectional, and divorce and separated statuses were often combined. Data were obtained from the latest release of the U.S. National Longitudinal Mortality Study (NLMS), consisting of the largest U.S. sample of suicide victims, 2,013 out of 1.5 million persons. Proportional hazards and logistic regression models were fitted to the NLMS data based on follow-up from 1990 to 2011. Results showed that when combined, the divorced and separated were over 88% more likely to suicide than the married (ARR = 1.886, CI = 1.649, 2.156). When split, the divorced had suicide risk that was over 97% higher than that of the married (ARR = 1.973, CI = 1.711, 2.274). Separated individuals experienced suicide risk that was nearly 52% greater than that of the married (ARR = 1.515, CI = 1.130, 2.037). The Mountain and southern census divisions had higher suicide risks than New England. Discussion focused mainly on Durkheim’s theory of suicide.

婚姻状况、性与自杀:新的纵向发现与迪尔凯姆的婚姻状况命题*

摘要本文的目的是利用新的纵向数据来调查婚姻状况对自杀的影响，并检验涂尔干的婚姻状况命题。先前的研究发现，婚姻状况与自杀有关，但一些研究忽略了性，大多数研究都是横断面的，离婚和分居状态经常结合在一起。数据来自最新发布的美国国家纵向死亡率研究（NLMS），该研究由美国最大的自杀受害者样本组成，2013年为150万人。根据1990年至2011年的随访，将比例危险和逻辑回归模型拟合到NLMS数据中。结果显示，离婚和分居者自杀的可能性比已婚者高88%以上（ARR=1.886，CI=1.649，2.156），离婚者的自杀风险比已婚者高97%以上（ARR=1.973，CI=1.711，2.274）。分居者的自杀危险比已婚者大52%（ARR=1.515，CI=1.130,2.037）。山区和南部人口普查区的自杀危险高于新英格兰。讨论主要集中在涂尔干的自杀理论上。
