| Research Abstract |
The number of suicides in Japan rose sharply in 1998, and that trend has continued in recent years. Accordingly, established prevention measures to reduce suicides must be promptly implemented. The current study statistically examined the effects of climatic factors on completed suicides in municipalities and Japanese prefectures with high and low rates of deaths due to suicide, and this study also examined seasonal variations in suicides. Suicide trends must be discussed at the regional level and at the national level, various factors for suicides must be examined, and climatic variations that warrant closer attention must be taken into account.
