0139/2012 - Mortalidade por suicídio em pessoas com 60 anos ou mais nos municípios brasileiros no período de 1996 a 2007 Suicide mortality in people aged 60 years or more in Brazilian cities in the period 1996 to 2007
Este trabalho teve como objetivo conhecer a magnitude do suicídio em idosos em nível nacional. Foi feita uma descrição da mortalidade por suicídio nos municípios brasileiros, visando estabelecer aqueles de maior frequência do evento. Empregou-se dados do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM/MS) para o período de 1996 a 2007 (triênios), sendo utilizados os eventos com códigos X60 a X84 e Y87.0 da 10ª revisão da Classificação Internacional de Doenças (CID-10). As taxas foram padronizadas segundo critérios da OMS. Verificou-se que 3.039 municípios brasileiros têm registros de casos de suicídio de pessoas com 60 anos ou mais em pelo menos um dos triênios analisados (54,6% do total de municípios). Um total de 29,3% de municípios se localiza na região Sul, 29,6%, na região Sudeste e 27,5% na região Nordeste. O Rio Grande do Sul concentra o maior percentual de municípios com casos nos quatro triênios (27,3%), sendo seguido pelos estados de São Paulo (17,4%) e Santa Catarina (9,1%). Quanto à evolução temporal, observou-se redução das taxas do triênio inicial para o triênio final em 32 dos 51 municípios com taxas mais elevadas em todo o período de análise. A razão média de óbitos homem/mulher foi de 2,8 mortes masculinas para cada morte feminina. O principal meio empregado é o enforcamento, estrangulamento e sufocação tanto entre homens (58,2%) quanto entre mulheres (49,8%).
