Epidemiology of suicide in older persons

Armin Schmidtke; R. Sell; Cordula Löhr

ZusammenfassungMit zunehmendem Alter erhöht sich in Deutschland die Suizidgefährdung. Die Suizidraten folgen dem „ungarischen“ Muster. Insbesondere der Anteil älterer Frauen an allen Suiziden hat sich in den letzten Jahren überproportional erhöht. Jeder zweite Suizid einer Frau ist zur Zeit der einer Frau über 60 Jahre. Hauptsuizidmethode ist das Erhängen. Suizidversuche sind im Alter seltener, die Raten steigen aber bei den sehr alten Menschen wieder an. Suizidversuche im Alter werden mit einer höheren Letalintensität durchgeführt und zeigen selten eine appellative Komponente. Suizidversuchsmethoden sind häufig Vergiftungen mit Psychopharmaka. Insgesamt werden die Suizid- und Suizidversuchsraten im Alter aber wahrscheinlich aufgrund eines hohen Anteils indirekter Methoden (passiver Unterlassungshandlungen) stark unterschätzt. Ursache von Suiziden und Suizidversuchen im Alter sind häufig psychische Erkrankungen (vor allem Depressionen), Motive häufig Partnerverlust, Verlust des sozialen Netzwerkes, Angst vor den Folgen physischer Erkrankungen und Verlust von Handlungsfreiheitsgraden. So ändert sich bei älteren Personen häufig die soziale Situation vor dem Suizidversuch.AbstractThe suicide risk in Germany increases with age. The suicide rates follow the so called “Hungarian” pattern. Especially the percentage of older females among all suicides has increased unproportionally in recent years in relation to their percentage in the population. Every second suicide of a female is today a suicide of a female older than 60 years. The main suicide method among older persons is hanging. Suicide attempts are rare among older persons; however, the rates are increasing among the oldest age groups. The suicide attempts of older persons are committed with a higher lethality and show rarely appellative components. Suicide attempt methods are often poisoning with pharmaceuticals. In total the suicide and suicide attempt rates among elderly are underestimated due to indirect methods (passive reactions, e.g. noneating). Reasons for suicides and suicide attempts among older persons are often psychic illnesses (mostly depression), motives often include loss of partners, loss of the social network, fear of the consequences of somatic illnesses and loss of freedom of action. Thus, often the social situation of older persons with suicide attempts changed before suicide was attempted.
