Abstract

Background Suicidal ideation (SID) is a major risk factor for suicide attempts. Mental disorders are among the strongest correlates of suicide, with depression and anxiety disorders playing a major role. The present study aims to investigate the contribution of under researched factors contributing to SID such as depersonalization, Type-D personality and cardiovascular risk factors.Methods Factors associated with SID were investigated in a sample of N=5000 participants (aged 35-74 years) of the community-based survey "Gutenberg Heart Study". The factors were assessed by self-report instruments, computer-assisted interviews and medical examination.Results 7.5% of the sample reported SID over the last 2 weeks. In the univariate analysis SID was significantly associated with female sex, living without a partner, low socioeconomic status, diagnosis of coronary heart disease, family history of myocardial infarction, smoking and mental distress. In the full adjusted model significant associations remained with age (in years) OR 1.02 (95%CI 1.01-1.04, p=0.002), self-reported depression OR 3.21 (95%CI 2.23-4.62, p<0.0001), panic disorder OR 1.56 (95%CI 1.03-2.36, p=0.036), depersonalization OR 2.45 (95%CI 1.78-3.38, p<0.0001), Type-D personality OR 1.98 (95%CI 1.49-2.63, p<0.0001) and impairment by mental distress OR 2.15 (95%CI 1.74-2.67, p<0.0001).Limitations Main limitations are the reliance on self-report measures of SID and of mental distress.Conclusions For the first time it has been shown that in the general population depersonalization and Type-D personality are uniquely associated with SID. These associations need further elucidation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
