摘要：

In the general population of Singapore the mean annual suicide rate over 1985-88 was highest in the Indians (20.4 per 100 000), followed by Chinese (15.8 per 100 000), and the Malays (2.4 per 100 000). However, in the elderly population (65 years and over) the rate was highest in the Chinese (61.2 per 100 000) with Indians second (30.5 per 100 000), and Malays still the lowest (3.2 per 100 000). Among elderly Chinese, women had a higher suicide rate than men.
