Elderly suicide attempts are understudied but gaining research focus. This review summarizes key risk factors, neurobiological changes, and effective prevention strategies for older adults.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Psychiatry
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Suicide attempts in individuals over 65 are a significant public health concern.
  • Research on elderly suicide risk factors, particularly neurobiological aspects of aging, is increasing globally.
  • Despite prevalence, this demographic's suicide attempts remain a scarcely studied area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of suicide and suicide attempts among the elderly.
  • To synthesize current research on risk factors and neurobiological alterations in elderly suicide.
  • To summarize existing prevention techniques and their outcomes for older adults.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of global research on elderly suicide.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on neurobiological changes associated with aging and suicide risk.
Keywords:
