Objectives
Explore the possible relationship between BMI and
suicide.
Material and methods
A total of 1197 suicides and 473 unnat-
ural deaths (not by suicide) were collected systematically for 60
months at the Institute of LegalMedicine of Seville. Age, sex, weight,
height and cause of death were recorded. Statistical analysis was
performed using SPSS v19.0.
Results
( Table 1 )Discussion
In our study we found that suicide (of all age groups
and both sexes) have a lower BMI than controls. However, the rela-
tionship between these two variables is complex and not all studies
support it. Moreover, the relationships between depression, sui-
cide and overweight point in different directions. More and more
studies indicate the existence of a relationship between depression
and overweight, suggesting that perhaps the “epidemic” of depres-
sion and overweight that we see in Western societies has some
connection. In addition, depression is a risk factor for suicide well
established. Our results indicate that suicide group tends to have
lower BMI (less weight in relation to its size) than the controls.

Introduction
Psychological autopsy studies have constantly indi-
cated a clear relation between mental disorders and suicide. This
relation has been found in studies across the world, although the
percentage of cases with at least one mental disorder diagnosed
may vary between studies and specially, between countries and
geographical regions.
Methods
Review of psychological autopsy studies of suicide
completers which contained information on diagnostic distribu-
tion. Only studies carried out in Europe and North America were
included.
Results
A total of 14 studies, including 1519 suicides, were ana-
lyzed
( Table 1 ).Conclusions
Suicide risk is a multifactor phenomenon, however,
it is strongly related to mental disorders. Mental health strategies
should be directed to target clinical groups at high risk of suicide.

Gender differences in suicide in Serbia
within the period 2006–2015
G. Dedic
New Belgrade, Serbia
Introduction
The complex multifactorial etiology of the suicide
suggests the need to consider gender differences when developing
effective strategies for suicide prevention. The aimof this studywas
to examine the suicide rates and/or trends obtained for population
as a whole, including gender differences in cases of committed sui-
cide and to consider socio-demographic factors associated with it
in Serbia within the period 2006–2015.
Methods
Data were obtained from the Republic Institute for
Statistics of Serbia. Statistical analysis was done by using the crude
specific suicide rate.
Results
Within the period 2006–2015. the suicide rate decreased
from 19.15 per 100,000 persons (2006) to 15.9 per 100,000 persons
(2014). In this period, males committed suicide 2.56 to 3.20 times
on average more often than females. The suicide was most often
