Objective:This study was aimed to analyze the relationship between the mental health and physical dysfunction and suicidal attempt among community dwelling elderly(65 years or more).
Method:This study was conducted on 129,277 persons over the age of 65 who participated in the Community Health Survey(CHS) for 2013 and 2017. The study participants were classified no suicidal ideation group(111,344 people), suicidal ideation only(17,487 people), suicidal attempt(446 people) based on their response to suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt. Related factors to suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt were analyzed using complex sample logistic regression analysis. All analyses used SAS ver 9.4 with 0.05 of significance level.
Results:Related factors to suicidal attempt were depressive symptom, stress, and counselling due to suicidal ideation in both sexes, pain/discomfort in elderly men, and 2 or more falling, limitation of daily activity in elderly women.
Conclusion:Few studies have performed to analyze related factors on suicidal attempt simultaneously. These results will develop the understanding of the elderly who attempted suicide and contribute to the selection of suicide high risk groups.
