20.500.12556/RUP-22260 Revisiting cultural issues in suicide rates the case of Western countries Suicidal behaviors among different age groups show epidemiological differences between countries. Specifically, suicide rates for the younger populations appear to be lower in Latin-origin countries (such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal) in comparison to other Western countries (especially Anglo-Saxon countries such as Canada, New Zealand, and Australia). The opposite seems to be true for the older population, suggesting a cross- cultural pattern for suicidal behavior in different ages. The current study replicates a study published in 1999 and compares suicide data between 1990 and 1994 with more recent data from the years 2016 and 2020 to investigate the persistence of previously observed trends. Basically, the recent years’ data confirm the patterns evidenced a quarter of a century ago, and substantially confirm the existence of suicide trends embedded with countries’ cultural factors and traditions. This investigation underlines the importance of incorporating anthropology, sociology, ethnography, and geography while studying culture-related patterns in suicide. suicide trends cultural factors Western countries Latin countries Anglo-Saxon countries trendi samomorilnosti kulturni dejavniki zahodne države latinske države anglosaksonske države true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-18 14:03:28 2025-12-18 14:03:29 2025-12-25 03:03:26 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 1-7 iss. 4, [article no.] 596 Vol. 22 Apr. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-04-10 159.9:616.89-008.441.44 1661-7827 10.3390/ ijerph22040596 262138115 RAZ_De_Leo_Diego_2025.pdf RAZ_De_Leo_Diego_2025.pdf 1 BC2779249CFED8B756529E57A8F98FC2 0272d0d6e9f60b5f80cd29cea9d70e7a0e12148e0457ed5b71061c02d357b7ac 630c06e8-dc12-11f0-8f0b-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32333 https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/22/4/596 1 415de28e-dc12-11f0-8f0b-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32332 Inštitut Andrej Marušič 0 0 0
