Potential years of life lost due to suicide in China, 2006-2010
1Center for Suicide Prevention Research, School of Public Health, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, China.
Objectives:
To calculate the potential years of life lost (PYLL) due to suicide in China, and analyse the distribution of PYLL by age, sex and region.
Study Design:
The recent Chinese national mortality data (2006-2010) published by the Chinese Ministry of Health and the census data provided by the Chinese National Population Census were used to calculate PYLL due to suicide.
Methods:
Age-, sex- and region-specific PYLL due to suicide in China were determined for victims aged between 1 and 74 years.
Results:
Suicide was found to be the 10th leading cause of death in terms of PYLL, and accounted for 3.06% of all PYLL in China. There were three age peaks for PYLL due to suicide in rural areas (20-24, 35-44 and 50-59 years), and two peaks for PYLL due to suicide in urban areas (20-24 and 35-44 years). PYLL due to suicide in rural areas was approximately two-fold higher than PYLL due to suicide in urban areas.
Conclusions:
Suicide is a major public health problem in China. This needs to be controlled, especially in rural areas.
