Objectives. To define different subgroups of suicide attempters according to age at onset of suicide attempts. Methods. Participants
were 229 suicide attempters (147 females; 82 males) admitted to a general hospital in Madrid, Spain. We used admixture analysis
to determine the best-fitting model for the age at onset of suicide attempts separated by sex. Results. The best fitted model for
the age at onset of suicide attempts was a mixture of two gaussian distributions. Females showed an earlier age at onset of suicide
attempts in both Gaussian distributions (mean ± S.D.) (26.98 ± 5.69 and 47.98 ± 14.13) than males (32.77 ± 8.11 and 61.31 ±
14.61). Early-onset female attempters were more likely to show borderline personality disorder than late-onset female attempters
(OR = 11.11; 95% CI = 2.43–50.0). Conclusions. Age at onset of suicide attempts characterizes different subpopulations of suicide
attempters
