Abstract:
Objective To provide basic suicide prevention strategy through analyzing the disease burden of suicide in the Chinese population,in 1990 and 2013.Methods Indicators including mortality rate,years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLL),years lived with disability (YLD),and disability-adjusted of life years (DALY) on suicide,were from the results of Global Burden of Disease 2013 and used to describe the burden of disease caused by suicide in Chinese population.Data described the disease burden of suicide in China by comparing the corresponding parameters in 1990 and 2013.Results In 2013,the standard mortality on suicide was 9.08 per 100 000,and 73.39 per 100 000 in the 80 and above year-old,with the highest rates on DALY and YLL seen in the 75-79-year-old.Each parameter related to suicide burden in males appeared higher than that in females.Compare to data in the 1990s,these parameters declined in 2013,especially seen in females.The rate of YLLs/YLDs on suicide was 90.03 in 2013,89.83 in males and 89.00 in females.Conclusion The disease burden of suicide decreased sharply between 1990 and 2013 but was still a serious issue in the elderly that called for more attention.
