ABSTRACT
Objectives@#:The purpose of this study was to identify suicide risk factors among elderly residents in Gyeongsangbuk-do and to reveal the relationships between them. In addition, the differences in suicide risk factors were analyzed between the cognitively impaired group and the cognitively normal group. @*Methods@#:We investigated 20,127 elderly over 65 years of age, from January 2019 to December 2019. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire survey. Cognitive function, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance, and suicidal ideation data were assessed using a Korean version of the Mini-Mental Status Examination for Dementia Screening (MMSE-DS), Short Geriatric Depression Scale for Korean version (S-GDS), Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and Scale for Suicidal Ideation (SSI). Data were analyzed using the chi-squared test and logistic regression analysis to examine suicide risk factors and the relationships between them. Furthermore, differences in suicide risk factors according to cognitive function were examined. @*Results@#:Age, cognitive function, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance were identified as suicide risk factors among elderly residents in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Depression was the factor that increased risk of suicide the most, followed by anxiety, impaired cognitive function, sleep disturbance, and 65-74 years of age. In addition, depression increased risk of suicide by 1.86 times in the cognitively impaired group. @*Conclusions@#:Among elderly residents in Gyeongsangbuk-do, depression was the factor that contributed the highest risk for suicide. More active prevention and treatment measures for depressive symptoms should be implemented in the cognitively impaired group.
