Age-adjustment mortality rates are rates of deaths that are computed using a statistical method to create a metric based on the true death rate so that it can be compared over time for a single population (i.e. comparing 2006-2008 to 2010-2012), as well as enable comparisons across different populations with possibly different age distributions in their populations (i.e. comparing Hispanic residents to Asian residents).
Age adjustment methods applied to Montgomery County rates are consistent with US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) as well as Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Vital Statistics Administration (DHMH VSA). PHS Planning and Epidemiology receives an annual data file of Montgomery County resident deaths registered with Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Vital Statistics Administration (DHMH VSA).
Using SAS analytic software, MCDHHS standardizes, aggregates, and calculates age-adjusted rates for each of the leading causes of death category consistent with state and national methods and by subgroups based on age, gender, race, and ethnicity combinations. Data are released in compliance with Data Use Agreements between DHMH VSA and MCDHHS. This dataset will be updated Annually.

Since the 1950s, the suicide rate in the United States has been significantly higher among men than women. In 2022, the suicide rate among men was almost four times higher than that of women. However, the rate of suicide for both men and women has increased gradually over the past couple of decades. Facts on suicide in the United States In 2022, the rate of suicide death in the United States was around 14 per 100,000 population. The suicide rate in the U.S. has generally increased since the year 2000, with the highest rates ever recorded in the years 2018 and 2022. In the United States, death rates from suicide are highest among those aged 45 to 64 years and lowest among younger adults aged 15 to 24. The states with the highest rates of suicide are Montana, Alaska, and Wyoming, while New Jersey and Massachusetts have the lowest rates. Suicide among men In 2023, around 4.5 percent of men in the United States reported having serious thoughts of suicide in the past year. Although this rate is lower than that of women, men still have a higher rate of suicide death than women. One reason for this may have to do with the method of suicide. Although firearms account for the largest share of suicide deaths among both men and women, firearms account for almost 60 percent of all suicides among men and just 35 percent among women. Suffocation and poisoning are the other most common methods of suicide among women, with the chances of surviving a suicide attempt from these methods being much higher than surviving an attempt by firearm. The age group with the highest rate of suicide death among men is by far those aged 75 years and over.

PurposeThis study aimed to determine the relationship between demographic diversity and veterinary professionals regarding their psychological distress and suicidal experiences. This study also aimed to determine what demographic factors were associated with psychological distress and suicidal experiences for veterinary professionals.MethodsThis study used a cross-sectional web-based questionnaire to assess the prevalence of diversity, psychological distress, and suicidality in individuals over 18 working in the veterinary field within the United States. The study received 2,482 responses resulting in 2,208 responses that were included in the analysis. Descriptive statistics were performed to identify the categories with the highest rates of psychological distress, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal behaviors. Binomial logistic regressions were conducted to identify the strongest statistical predictors of psychological distress (Kessler-6-K6), suicidal thinking and suicide behaviors.ResultsOf the 2,208 respondents included in the analysis, 888 (41%) were experiencing serious psychological distress and 381 (17.3%) had considered suicide in the past 12 months. Results of the binomial regressions indicate gender, social class, age, and disability status were the strongest predictors of psychological distress. When controlling for psychological distress, the strongest predictors of suicidal thinking were sexual orientation, marital status, and professional role.ImplicationsLimited research has been done to explore the relationship between demographic diversity of veterinary professionals and psychological distress, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal behaviors specifically. These results shed light on multiple demographic factors that promote and attenuate mental health, as well as the importance of asking respondents their demographic identities in veterinary medicine research. This research attempts to identify these mental health factors without collapsing categories with small sample sizes, which does cause a limitation in statistical power, yet also demonstrates how to increase inclusivity in research.

South Korea currently has the highest overall suicide rate among OECD countries worldwide. The suicide rate among women in South Korea is significantly higher than that of women in any other country. Nevertheless, suicide is commonly more prevalent among men than women. Suicide in the U.S. The suicide rate in the United States has risen since the year 2000. As of 2022, there were around **** deaths from suicide per 100,000 population. The suicide rate among men in the U.S. is over ***** times what it is for females, a considerable and troubling difference. The suicide rate among men increases with age, with the highest rates found among men aged 75 years and older. Adolescent suicide Adolescent suicide is always a serious and difficult topic. A recent survey found that around ** percent of female high school students in the United States had seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, compared to ** percent of male students. On average, there are around ** suicide deaths among adolescents per 100,000 population in the United States. The states with the highest rates of adolescent suicide include New Mexico, Idaho, and Oklahoma.

ABSTRACT Objective To describe the epidemiological profile and analyze the time trend of suicide mortality among adolescents (10-19 years old) from the Brazilian Northeast, from 2001 to 2015. Methods This is an observational study, which took place in the Northeast region, Brazil. The study period was from 2001 to 2015. Deaths from intentional self-harm (X60 to X84). exogenous poisoning of undetermined intent (Y10 to Y19) and intentional self-harm (Y87.0) were considered, according to the 10th Review of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), for adolescents aged 10 to 19 years. The variables analyzed were: sex, age group, race / color, specific ICD, state of residence and suicide mortality rate/100,000 inhabitants. Results There were 3,194 deaths due to suicide in the age group studied, with a male predominance (62.1%; n = 1,984), age group 15 to 19 years (84.8%; n = 2,707), race/brown color (65.4%; n = 2,090); between 4 and 7 years of schooling (31.7%; n = 1,011) and at CID X70 (47.8%; n = 1,528). The time trend of mortality was increasing from 2001 to 2015 (APC: 2.4%; p < 0.01), with higher rates in males. There was an increasing trend in the suicide rate, among men, throughout the period (AAPC: 2.9%; p < 0.01). In women, a decreasing trend was identified as of 2004 (APC: -2.2%; p < 0.01). Conclusion The epidemiological profile was characterized by male gender, age group 15-19 years, color/brown race and average schooling. The trend showed a growth pattern in males and a decline in females. It is recommended that public policies are aimed at the adolescent population.

In the 12 months leading up to a 2021 survey, around 22.2 percent of American high school students had seriously considered a suicide attempt. The prevalence of suicidal ideation was highest among female students, at 30 percent.

The association between patient and physician gender and suicide risk assessment is understudied, despite known differences in suicidal behaviors among genders. To estimate the association between physicians’ sociodemographics and their rating of suicide risk and the need for hospitalization in men and women. In an anonymous online survey, physicians rated the suicide risk and the need for hospitalization of two clinical vignettes (one male and one female patient) and answered sociodemographic questions. Generalized estimating equations were used to estimate the associations between the vignettes’ gender and physician’s characteristics with the ratings of suicide risk and hospitalization needs. Of the 473 physicians who answered the survey, 407 were eligible for the study. Independently of other socio-demographics, (i) male physicians rated suicide risk and hospitalization need lower than their female counterparts, (ii) scores for female and male patients didn’t differ, and (iii) physicians rated higher hospitalization need for same-gender patients. We used a binary categorization for gender, which does not account for non-binary and other gender identities. Physician gender impacts evaluations of suicide risk and the need for hospitalization. Future studies should explore how physician gender affects clinical practice and inform gender-sensitive medical training.

This statistic shows the share of high school students who had serious thoughts about suicide in the United States between 2008 and 2012, by demographic characteristics. As of that period, **** percent of the female high school students had serious thoughts of suicide within the preceding 12 months.

The suicide rate among females in the United States is highest for those aged 45 to 64 years and lowest among girls aged 10 to 14 and elderly women 75 and over. Although the suicide rate among women remains over three times lower than that of men, rates of suicide among women have gradually increased over the past couple decades. Suicide among women in the United States In 2021, there were around six suicide deaths per 100,000 women in the United States. In comparison, the rate of suicide among women in the year 2000 was about four per 100,000. Suicide rates among women are by far the highest among American Indians or Alaska Natives and lowest among Hispanic and Black or African American women. Although firearms are involved in the highest share of suicide deaths among both men and women, they account for a much smaller share among women. In 2020, the firearm suicide rate among women was 1.8 per 100,000 population, while the rates of suicide for suffocation and poisoning were 1.7 and 1.5 per 100,000, respectively. Suicidal ideation among women Although not everyone who experiences suicidal ideation, or suicidal thoughts, will attempt suicide, suicidal thoughts are a risk factor for suicide. In 2022, just over five percent of women in the United States reported having serious thoughts of suicide in the past year. Suicidal thoughts are more common among women than men even though men have much higher rates of death from suicide than women. This is because men are more likely to use more lethal methods of suicide such as firearms. Women who suffer from substance use disorder are significantly more likely to have serious thoughts of suicide than women without substance use disorder.
