Abstract

The suicide rate in Japan was the highest in the world the 10 years after World War II. There were many suicides among young and aged people. Now, Japan has many suicides among middle-aged people, and suicides among elderly people are still remarkable. These findings suggest that middle-aged people in 1980s have a high risk of suicide and that suicide among elderly people will increase in 10-20 years.
