0240/2025 - Suicídio em mulheres segundo os métodos de perpetração mais incidentes nas macrorregiões do Brasil (2000 a 2019) Suicide in women according to the most incident methods in the macroregions of Brazil (2000 to 2019)
Objetivo: analisar a tendência temporal da mortalidade por suicídio em mulheres residentes nas macrorregiões brasileiras segundo os métodos de perpetração mais incidentes no período de 2000 a 2019. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo ecológico com recorte temporal de suicídios em mulheres e métodos de perpetração nas macrorregiões do Brasil. Os dados foram extraídos do Sistema de Informação Sobre Mortalidade e foram aplicadas técnicas de correção dos registros de óbito para cobertura e qualidade da informação. Tendências foram avaliadas por regressão binomial negativa, classificadas de acordo com o valor do risco relativo e valor de p. Resultados: Os métodos de perpetração com maiores taxas em todas as localidades estudadas foram: enforcamento, estrangulamento e sufocação, seguido por autointoxicação e arma de fogo. Em todas as localidades, verificou-se tendência ascendente para os suicídios por enforcamento, estrangulamento e sufocação em todas as faixas etárias, e descendente para suicídio por arma de fogo e autointoxicação, com exceção da região Sul que mostrou ascendência das taxas de suicídio por autointoxicação e Centro-Oeste em que houve estacionariedade. Conclusão: Enforcamento, estrangulamento e sufocação representa o principal método utilizado por mulheres em todas as faixas etárias e regiões do Brasil.

Abstract:
To analyze the temporal trend of suicide mortality in women residing in the macroregions of Brazil according to the most incident perpetration methods from 2000 to 2019. Methods: This is an ecological study with a temporal cut on suicides in women and perpetration methods in the macroregions of Brazil. Data were extracted from the Mortality Information System, and techniques were applied to correct death records for coverage and information quality. Trends were assessed by negative binomial regression, classified according to the relative risk value and p-value. Results: The perpetration methods with the highest rates in all studied locations were hanging, strangulation, and suffocation, followed by self-poisoning and firearm. In all locations, there was an upward trend for suicides by hanging, strangulation, and suffocation in all age groups, and a downward trend for suicide by firearm and self-poisoning, except in the Southern region, which showed an upward trend in suicide rates by self-poisoning, and the Midwest, where there was stability. Conclusion: Hanging, strangulation, and suffocation represent the main method used by women in all age groups and regions of Brazil.
