[General characteristics of suicide in the region of Kragujevac].
A complete record of all suicides (regardless the outcomes) was done for the five-year period (1991-1995). The research reviewed the factors influencing suicidal behavior, with special reference to socio-medical and meteorological ones. The data were obtained from the Ministry of internal affairs of Serbia, medical records from the Psychiatry Center (Clinical center Kragujevac), and SINOP reports from the meteorological station in Kragujevac. Structure of the suicides with lethal outcome showed extremely great percentage (60.2%) of the unemployed. Significant difference, at the level of 0.01, was found between age structure and suicide. There was somewhat younger age among tentamen suicide (41.23 years) in comparison to suicides with lethal outcome (59.50 years). Likewise, a significant difference between autochthons and newcomers, in favor of the latter was found. Stable, warm and sunny weather was the greater suicidal risk than the other biotrophic weather conditions. Based on these results, there is a possibility of tracking down the individuals at risk and timely prediction of suicide. In order to prevent this significant socio-medical problem.
