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.

ABSTRACT Objectives: Analyze the suicide mortality time trends among adolescents in Brazil from 2000 to 2015. Methods: Data were collected from the Brazilian Mortality Database and from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. Study variables were sex, year and underlying cause of death. The study included deaths from Intentional Self-Harm, X60-X84 – according to the 10th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), of adolescents aged 10 to 19. The simple linear regression technique was used and results were considered statistically significant when p ≤ 5%. Results: From 2000 to 2015, there were 11,947 deaths due to suicide of adolescents in Brazil and 67% of these occurred in male adolescents, which corresponds to a 2,06:1 male-female ratio. There was a statistically significant increase in adolescent suicide mortality in Brazil (p = 0.016), which increased from 1.71 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2000 to 2.51 in 2015, a raise of 47%. The increase occurred in behalf of the increment in suicides of male adolescents (p = 0.001) specifically in the North (p < 0.001) and Northeast (p < 0.001) of Brazil. In regard to the female group, there was a downtrend of mortality by suicide in the Center West region (p = 0.039), but when it comes to Brazil as a whole, there was a stabilization behavior of mortality by suicide. Conclusions: These results indicate an increase in the suicide rate of adolescents in Brazil, particularly in the male population. The improvement of suicide prevention strategies in Brazil is imperative.

In 2024, Japan reported 16.4 suicides per 100,000 inhabitants. The country's suicide rate resumed its downward trend after an unexpected surge in recent years, likely connected to the COVID-19 pandemic. What are the reasons behind Japan’s high suicide rates?  While the majority of suicides in Japan stemmed from health reasons, existential concerns and problems directly related to work also accounted for thousands of self-inflicted deaths in the past years. One of the most profound issues faced by employees in Japan leading to self-harm is exhaustion. “Karoshi,” or death by overwork, is a well-known phenomenon in Japanese society. In addition to physical fatigue, karoshi may be precipitated by mental stress resulting from employment. Occupational stress or overwork-induced suicide is referred to as “karojisatsu (overwork suicide)” in Japan. Which demographic groups are affected? Although *************** are frequently depicted as the most at-risk demographic for suicide in Japan, the increasing occurrence of suicides among the elderly people and schoolchildren is causing concern. Bullying, isolation, and the lack of a proficient mental healthcare system can be additional factors contributing to the country’s high suicide rates among all age groups.
