The official death rates from suicide vary considerably between
countries in the world for which data are available. They range
from 3 to 45 persons a year, per 100,000 of population.
Historically, the higher rates of suicide are in the older age
groups and in males. However, the general trend in the last twenty
years has been for suicide increasing in the younger age groups
(15-34) and in femah;s. It has been suggested that thi~ development
is related to the phenomenon of attempted suicide, of which the
rates in most industrialized countries have doubled and in some
countries even tripled over the past two decades. The average rate
of attempted suicide is now estimated to be around 200 per 100,000
for males and 350 for females. Almost two-thirds of these occur
before the age of thirty. Although the majority of attempted
suicide are not intended to be lethal, once a suicide attempt has
been made, there is more likelihood of subsequent death by suicide.
As many as ten percent of people who have made a previous
unsuccessful attempt commit suicide at a later stage in their
lives. rersons with increased likelihood to commit suicide are
youngsters from disrupted families and from families with a history
of suicide, drug and alcohol addiction, those who have failed at
school, the unemployed and those suffering from depression.
