Abstract:

Ecological study that assessed the frequency of suicides in Brazil in the age group 14-65 years, with data reported in the SIM. Objectives: to describe the temporal trend of suicides in the period 2010-19 and evaluate the socio-occupational profile of occurrences, exploring aspects connecting suicide and work. We analyzed the percentage distribution, estimates of Proportional Percentage Variation-VPP and mortality rates-MR, with population data from IBGE, RAIS and occupation surveys. Between 2010-19, suicides showed a sustained upward trend (VPPglobal=60.1%); higher in men (VPP=62.8%) than in women (VPP=51.4%). The MR was 8.1 suicides/100,000 people of working age. The suicide risk was 3.5 times higher in men than in women. In 2019, the MR among self-declared Indigenous people (19.5/100,000) and in Agricultural workers (21.7/100,000) stands out. Hanging was the most used method (71.4%). The evolution of suicide and accentuated vulnerability in the self-declared indigenous population and agricultural workers is worrisome. The expansion of affected occupations is also highlighted, pointing to its dissemination and the relevance of attention to the characteristics of the work in the surveillance and control of suicide.
