Familial and sociopsychopathological risk factors for suicide attempt in bulimic and in depressed women: Prospective study

Abstract

Sociopsychopathological risk factors for suicide attempts in the BNG and MDG appear to vary.

Loneliness as a predictor of suicidal ideation and behaviour: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies

“…Ten (Ayalon and Shiovitz-Ezra, 2011;Bonner and Rich, 1988;Gallagher et al, 2014 T1-T3;Hom et al, 2019;Joling et al, 2018;Lasgaard et al, 2011;McGraw, 2008;Nickel et al, 2006;Stolz et al, 2016;Wichstrøm, 2009) of the 15 studies (20 analyses) that recruited predominantly female participants (>50% female participants) found loneliness to be a significant predictor of later SIB compared to three of the seven studies (eight analyses) that contained predominantly male participants.…”

“…Three (Junker et al, 2017;Nickel, 2006;Wichstrøm, 2009) of the seven studies (8 analyses) which explored any form of suicidal behaviour found loneliness to be a significant predictor. Studies which reported a significant association were all those which explored self-harm as the outcome.…”

“…In those studies where a significant loneliness-SIB association was found, they tended to be European-based studies, to have larger than average sample size, and to include participants that were predominantly female. Six studies (seven analyses) explored the unadjusted relationship between loneliness and suicidal behaviour with only two of these studies finding a significant loneliness-suicidal behaviour association; these studies were also the only two studies to include self-harm without suicidal intent as an outcome variable (Nickel et al 2006;Wichstrøm, 2009). However, it should be noted that Wichstrøm's (2009) measure of suicidal behaviour included both self-harm and suicide attempt.…”

Factors associated with suicidal behaviors in a large French sample of inpatients with eating disorders

“…19 A one-year prospective study identified laxative use and a history of sexual abuse as the most significant risk factors for SA in the BN group. 20 However, the above mentioned studies have some limitations. In the first prospective study, 19 patients with AN of the restricting subtype (AN-R) and those with AN-B/P were grouped under the diagnosis of AN.…”

“…This limits the conclusions that can be drawn from that study since the two subtypes of AN differ substantially in terms of suicidality. The second one 20 recruited patients through advertisement, had a short follow-up length, and had a broad definition of SA. The other studies had a low to moderate number of participants (n 5 150-495), a limited number of variables examined, or no distinction between types of ED.…”
