SP - 185 EP - 190 VL - 19 IS - 4 N2 - Based on epidemiologic methodology different factors related to suicide committed in Asturias (Spain) during 1983-1987 were analysed. The following factors were studied: age, sex, procedure of suicide, climate variables (atmospheric pressure, frequency of south-winds), seasons of the year and Moon phases in which suicides were committed. The incidence was 11.13/100,000. In respect to several factors significant differences were found (X2 test): age, sex and suicide procedure depending on sex. In relation to other factors, although some differences were observed in relation to sex, no significant differences were present.
