abstract="INTRODUCTION: Findings concerning the effects of moon phases and sun activity on suicide are mixed in the international literature. <br><br>AIM: Our aim was to examine the hypothesised effects according to gender and age on Hungarian data covering more than 30 years. <br><br>METHODS: Time series ARIMA models and dynamic regression models were applied in our analysis. <br><br>RESULTS: Among women aged 20-49 years, a significant increase in the risk of suicide has been observed during proton solar events. At the same time, among women aged 50-59 years a slight but significant decrease has been identified in the risk of suicide during magnetic storms and full moons. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Proton solar events, geomagnetic storms and moon phases caused changes in the risk of suicide in certain age groups in the case of women only.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
