متن کاملElderly suicide rates: the importance of a non-linear relationship with distal risk and protective factors

For example, a recent cross-national study of 62 developing and developed countries reported an increase in suicide rates with aging in males and females in 25 and 27 countries respectively (Shah, 2007a).
