Abstract
Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate the suicide risk in diabetes patients and evaluate the variations in suicide risk by the duration of diabetes using a large population sample in South Korea.

Methods: Data from 6,296 adults in the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included. The suicidal ideation, suicide plans, and suicidal behavior of diabetes patients were compared to the general population. After classifying the patients into ¡Â1 year, 2 to 9 years, and ¡Ã10 years of diabetes duration, we evaluated the relationship between the duration of diabetes and the suicide risk.

Results: Diabetes patients had higher prevalences of suicidal ideation (9.1%, p<0.001) and suicide plans (3.6%, p<0.001) than the general population. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, suicide plans (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=2.926, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.325?6.463) were significantly associated with diabetes. In the 2 to 9 years group of diabetes patients, we found an increase in the risk of suicidal ideation (aOR=2.035, 95% CI=1.129?3.670), suicide plans (aOR=3.507, 95% CI=1.538?7.996), and suicidal behavior (aOR=7.130, 95% CI=2.035?24.978) after adjusting for the covariates. However, no increases in suicide risk were observed ¡Â1 year and ¡Ã10 years after diabetes diagnosis.

Conclusion: In adults, diabetes is associated with an increase in suicide risk. Suicide risk in diabetes patients showed an inverted U-shaped depending upon the duration of diabetes.
