dc.description.abstract | Objectives: To investigate the trends and correlations
of gross domestic product (GDP) adjusted for
purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita on suicide
rates in 10 WHO regions during the past 30 years.
Design: Analyses of databases of PPP-adjusted GDP
per capita and suicide rates. Countries were grouped
according to the Global Burden of Disease regional
classification system.
Data sources: World Bank’s official website and
WHO’s mortality database.
Statistical analyses: After graphically displaying
PPP-adjusted GDP per capita and suicide rates, mixed
effect models were used for representing and
analysing clustered data.
Results: Three different groups of countries, based on
the correlation between the PPP-adjusted GDP per
capita and suicide rates, are reported: (1) positive
correlation: developing (lower middle and upper
middle income) Latin-American and Caribbean
countries, developing countries in the South East Asian
Region including India, some countries in the Western
Pacific Region (such as China and South Korea) and
high-income Asian countries, including Japan; (2)
negative correlation: high-income and developing
European countries, Canada, Australia and New
Zealand and (3) no correlation was found in an African
country.
Conclusions: PPP-adjusted GDP per capita may offer
a simple measure for designing the type of preventive
interventions aimed at lowering suicide rates that can
be used across countries. Public health interventions
might be more suitable for developing countries. In
high-income countries, however, preventive measures
based on the medical model might prove more useful | en_US |
