A network analysis of protective and risk factors for suicide attempt among adolescents in twelve low- and lower-middle-income countries
Suicide attempts arise from an environment of many interconnected psychosocial and other factors. Yet, the relationships between these factors have not been studied widely in low- and middle-income countries, where an estimated 73% of suicides occur. We aimed to identify the patterns and complexrelationships between the factors associated with suicide attempts. We conducted a network analysis on data from 25,761 school-going adolescents across12 …
The Trend of Self-harm Incidence Rates Among Adolescents in Low- and Lower-Middle Income Countries and Its Associated Contextual Factors
This study examined trends in adolescent self-harm incidence rates and associated contextual factors among 77 low- and lower-middle-income countries. Annual sex-specific self-harm incidence rates for ages 10–19 years were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 database. Joinpoint regression assessed trends while country and year fixed-effects models examined their association with self-harm incidence rates. Median incidence rates decline…
Living longer but in poor health
The healthcare system needs to more address the increased morbidity burden among older people. It should be designed to handle to healthcare needs of the ageing population
Changes in contributions of age- and cause-specific mortality to the widening life expectancy gap between North and South Korea, 1990–2019
The contributors to this gap have shifted from nutritional deficiencies in children younger than five years to cardiovascular disease among elderly people. Efforts for strengthening social and healthcare systems are needed to curb this large gap
The burden of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and its association with development assistance for health and governance
Even with a reduced burden of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), differences remain in the rate of change among countries and sub-regions. We used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 to establish the relationship between Development Assistance for Health (DAH) and governance and trends in malaria burden in SSA. The trend was estimated using the Joinpoint regression program and the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation's DAH d…
Long-term trajectories of suicide ideation and its socioeconomic predictors
Single and combined effects of marital status, education attainment, and employment status on suicide among working-age population
Marital status, education attainment, and employment status have a separate and combined impact on suicide among the working-age population. Specifically, the divorced and unemployed or economically inactive status amplified suicide risk, predominantly among young adults. Monitoring and intervention for those young adults should be considered for suicide prevention
