A retrospective study was carried out including all those patients who, over the last 6 years (n = 257), required admission to our hospital for medical or surgical reasons following attempted suicide. The authors examined a series of clinical and demographic variables. Thirty-eight patients over 65 years of age were compared with 120 patients aged between 30 and 64 years and 99 aged under 30 years. When compared with the other two groups, a significantly higher proportion of elderly patients were widowed and showed affective disorders and concurrent physical illness.
