ABSTRACT

Background: Suicidal attempt in rural areas is related to the use of agrochemicals that conditions a high mortality worldwide. Five thousand deaths are reported every year in Mexico, being the third leading cause of death in people under 35 years of age.
Objective: To identify the frequency and lethality of toxics used, age, gender, cause, emotional state and possibilities of rescuing people with suicidal behavior whose suicidal attempts conditioned suicide.
Material and methods: Retrospective study conducted in a group of 40 suicidal patients admitted to Tejupilco General Hospital, between 2000 and 2008. The variables studied were suicidal behavior, its causes, depression, recovery, and geography.
Results: The average age of suicides was 25 ± 12 years. In the group aged under 25 the frequency was 68% (n = 27), with predominance of women in 70% (n = 28). The death occurred in 22.5% (n 9). The most frequently used toxic was aluminum phosphide (45%; n=18). The main cause was the breakup of a romantic relationship 47% (n=19), and depression was associated in 68% (n=27) of cases. OR 0.400, 1.400, 0.9333 and RI:95%; respectively.
Discussion: We show that suicide attempts are common in rural areas and that women are the main victims, reflecting their inability to cope with the pain and impulsive personality, depression, and poor anger management. The death rate is high and related to aluminium phosphide.
Conclusions: Young women represent the group with highest frequency of suicidal behavior in rural areas. Depression and anger are related to the breakup of a relationship. The Aluminium Phosphide is the most used and lethal toxic. Risk factors dominate the municipalities of Tejupilco and Luvianos
