Abstract

Objective: To analyze the time trend in suicide mortality in the state of Bahia according to gender and age range, in the
1996-2013 period. Methods: A time series study based on data from Brazil’a Mortality Information System (SIM), with trend analysis
that uses Prais-Winsten regression. Results: Of the 5,393 people who died from suicide in Bahia, 81.4% (n = 4632) were men and 46%
(n = 2619) were aged 20-39 years. As to the means used, 58.6% (n = 3336) of the deaths were due to intentional self-harm by hanging
and strangulation, followed by self-poisoning by pesticides and chemicals (15.9% / n = 906). There was an increasing trend in the
coefficient of mortality by suicide in the State for both genders and for the groups of 20 to 39 years, 40 to 59 years and 60 years or
more. Conclusion: Suicide in Bahia predominates among young males, with an increasing trend of the total coefficient and in the
