Resumo:
O objetivo foi avaliar a correlação entre homicídio, suicídio e variáveis sociodemográficas num estudo ecológico. Os dados foram coletados a partir de registros oficiais disponibilizados pelo Ministério da Saúde e IBGE (2010), agregados por estado (27). Os dados foram analisados usando técnicas de correlação, análise fatorial, análise de componentes principais com rotação varimax e regressão linear múltipla. As taxas de suicídio padronizadas por idade para o total, homens e mulheres foram 5,0; 8,0 e 2,2 por 100.000, respectivamente. A taxa de suicídio variou de 2,7 no Pará a 9,1 no Rio Grande do Sul. As taxas de homicídio para o total, homens e mulheres foram 27,2; 50,8 e 4,5 por 100.000, respectivamente. A taxa de homicídio variou de 13,0 em Santa Catarina a 68,9 em Alagoas. Suicídio e homicídio foram negativamente associados (r = -0,61; p = 0,001), a significância persistiu entre os homens. O desemprego foi negativamente correlacionado com o suicídio e positivamente com o homicídio. Diferentes variáveis sociodemográficas foram correlacionadas com o suicídio e homicídio nas regressões. Os resultados sugerem que o mediador mais importante foi o desemprego. Suicídio apresentou um padrão, sugerindo que no Brasil está relacionado com alto nível socioeconomico. Homicídio parece seguir o padrão encontrado em outros países, associado com baixo nível socioeconômico.

Abstract:
The objective was to evaluate correlations between suicide, homicide and sociodemographic variables through an ecological study. Mortality and sociodemographic data were collected from official records of the Ministry of Health and IBGE (2010), aggregated by state (27). The data were analyzed using correlation techniques, factor analysis, principal component analysis with a varimax rotation and multiple linear regression. Suicide age-adjusted rates for the total population, men and women were 5.0, 8.0, and 2.2 per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively. The suicide rates ranged from 2.7 in Pará to 9.1 in Rio Grande do Sul. Homicide for the total population, men and women were 27.2, 50.8, and 4.5 per 100,000, respectively. The homicide rates ranged from 13.0 in Santa Catarina to 68.9 in Alagoas. Suicide and homicide were negatively associated (r = -0.61; p = 0.001), the significance persisted among men. Unemployment was negatively correlated with suicide and positively with homicide. Different sociodemographic variables were found to correlate with suicide and homicide in the regressions. Results suggested that unemployment was the most important mediator in these correlations. Suicide showed a pattern suggesting that, in Brazil, it is related to high socioeconomic status. Homicide seemed to follow the pattern found in other countries, associated with lower low socioeconomic status.
