Abstract:

This work aimed to perform an ecological analysis of suicide mortality of people aged 60 years or more in Brazilian cities in 2005-2007 period, investigating associated factors. Data on suicide deaths were extracted from the Mortality Information System, codes X60 to X86 and Y87.0 (ICD-10). Poisson regression, negative binomial and zero inflated negative binomial (ZINB) models were adjusted. The latter exhibited the best results when comparing models. The proportion of non-whites (negative association), the rate of hospitalization for mood disorders (positive association) and sex ratio (negative association) were identified as factors associated with suicide.
