Abstract:

This paper aimed to determine the temporal evolution of suicide mortality in people aged 60 or more second unit of the federation from 1980 to 2009. In the construction of historical data we used mortality data from suicide (ICD-9 codes E950 to E959 and ICD-10 codes X60 to X84 and Y87.0) obtained from the Information System (SIM / MS). Data regarding population counts were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. In the assessment of time trends we used the Poisson regression model, in which the dependent variable was the number of deaths and the explanatory variable centralized calendar year. Statistically significant trends were considered those whose p-value ≤ 0.05. The results showed the presence of a statistically significant trend of increase for four states and decrease for two states (the general population, 60 years or more). In the male population increased in five and two reduction. The female rates showed an increase in state and decrease in three. There was increasing trend in Piauí, Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte and reduction in Amazonas, Roraima, and São Paulo for those aged between 60 and 69 years. Increasing rates were observed in the population 70-79 years of Piauí and decreasing in Roraima.
