“…A longitudinal study carried out in countries with high HDI found that high levels of feelings of loneliness are significantly correlated with suicidal ideation in adult population (29). This is in agreement with cross-sectional large sample in young-andmiddle age adults in Europe studies that have documented that higher isolation being female and with chronic health conditions are related to 12-month suicidal ideation (30). In this sense, The estimated regression coefficients appear first, followed by the standard deviations of the parameters calculated from of the variance using the stepwise method (step by step).…”

“… 5 A global study found that the rates of SI and SA over 12 months were 2% and 0.5%, respectively. 9 Prevalence was as high as 1.81% for SI and 0.41% for SA during the economic crisis (from 2011 to 2012) in Spain. 10 In Asian populations, the lifetime prevalence of any SI among older people residing in Sri Lanka was 13.0% (11.7% to 14.3%) for men and 21.8% (20.3% to 23.2%) for women, with no significant difference between twins and nontwins.…”

“…11,13,14 Other studies have found that a low level of education, being widowed, living alone, being in a nursing home, having financial problems and disability were related to SI among older adults. 9,10 Having psychiatric disorders, especially anxiety disorder, increases the risk of SA. 15,16 Depressive disorders and depressive symptoms were the most influential predictors of SI.…”

“…10,11,[17][18][19] Disorders such as alcohol use disorder, panic symptoms, early-onset fearful panic attacks, intense anxiety, sleep disturbances, a past history of suicide, a history of physical illness, chronic diseases and disabilities were also associated with SI. 9,[20][21][22] Among older people, psychosocial variables have been found to be related to suicidality, including personality traits, feelings of isolation, hopelessness, desperation, negative affect and perceived stress and lack of support.…”

“…Regarding suicidal thoughts, females were prone to higher risk of SI than males. 9 , 13 Variables associated with SI included area of residence, separation/divorce, higher education, losing a parent while young, low standard of living and stressful life events in the preceding 12 months, perceived poor health, poorer cognitive functioning and consuming alcohol (but only among males). 11 , 13 , 14 Other studies have found that a low level of education, being widowed, living alone, being in a nursing home, having financial problems and disability were related to SI among older adults.…”

Purpose This study compared predictors of passive suicidal ideation (SI), active SI, and suicide attempt (SA) among elderly Thai patients in tertiary care settings. Patients and Methods Psychiatric diagnoses and suicidality of 803 older people were assessed using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR. All participants completed the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS), 15-item Thai geriatric depression scale (TGDS-15), 10-item perceived social scale and the Core Symptoms Index. The chi-square test, t -test and ANOVA were used for bivariate analysis of predictors of specific suicidality types. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the predictors for each type of suicidality. Results The patients’ mean age was 69.24 ± 6.90 years, and the majority were female (69.74%). Passive SI, active SI and SA were found among 20.42%, 3.74% and 2.37%, respectively, of the patients. Major depressive disorder (MDD) was a predictor of both passive and active SI (OR = 2.06 and 3.74, respectively). Other predictors of passive SI included hypomania (OR = 8.27) and positive score on the TGDS-15 (OR = 1.29). Predictors of active SI included agoraphobia (OR = 6.84) and hypomania (OR = 7.10). Predictors of SA included a family history of alcohol dependence (OR = 14.16), a history of depression (OR = 4.78) and agoraphobia (OR = 19.89). Surprisingly, hypertension and self-reported anxiety symptoms were protective factors for passive SI (OR = 0.51 and 0.85, respectively). Likewise, MSPSS was a protective factor for SA (OR = 0.90). Conclusion Predictors of each type of suicidality differed. MDD was the main predictor for SI; however, agoraphobia and poor perceived social support were more pronounced among individuals with SA. Further investigation, especially in longitudinal fashion, should be warranted.

ImportanceSuicide is a substantial public health concern that involves various recognized contributing factors. Sensory impairments, specifically visual impairment, are deemed potential risk factors. Nonetheless, comprehensive information about associated risk levels and underlying determinants remains limited.ObjectiveTo investigate the association between visual impairment and different aspects of suicide, including the assessment of risk levels and exploration of potential contributing factors.Data SourcesAn electronic search was performed in the PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases from their inception to February 8, 2024.Study SelectionAll published studies were considered without restrictions on study design, publication date, or language.Data Extraction and SynthesisTwo independent reviewers extracted the published data using a standardized procedure in accordance with the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines. Random-effects meta-analyses were used to estimate pooled effect sizes. Multiple meta-regression analyses were conducted to identify potential factors contributing to the association between visual impairment and the risk of suicide.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome measure was the odds ratio (OR) of suicidal behavior (including suicide attempt and suicide death) for individuals with visual impairment compared with those without. The secondary outcome measures were the pooled ORs of suicidal ideation and suicide death, respectively.ResultsA total of 31 population-based studies with 5 692 769 unique individuals (mean [SD] age, 48.4 [8.5] years; 2 965 933 females [52%]) were included. For 17 studies (5 602 285 individuals) that evaluated suicidal behavior, the pooled OR was 2.49 (95% CI, 1.71-3.63). For 21 studies (611 899 individuals) that assessed suicidal ideation, the pooled OR was 2.01 (95% CI, 1.62-2.50). For 8 studies (5 067 113 individuals) investigating the association between visual impairment and suicide death, the pooled OR was 1.89 (95% CI, 1.32-2.71). The multiple meta-regression model identified age group as a predictive factor associated with suicidal behavior, with the studies included suggesting that adolescents were at the highest risk. While this analysis showed moderate heterogeneity for suicide death, high heterogeneity was observed for suicidal behavior and suicidal ideation.Conclusions and RelevanceThe findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis support the association between visual impairment and increased risk of suicidal tendencies. The risk differed by age group, with a pronounced risk observed among adolescents.
