TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Six year follow-up of health status changes in Danish adults with suicide tendency in 1994 JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Kjoller, Mette A1 - Davidsen, Michael A1 - Norlev, Jeanette SP - 103 EP - 112 VL - 36 IS - 1 N2 - The purpose of this study was to determine whether suicidal ideation and/ or suicide attempts have any long-term health effects. The relationship between suicidal thoughts and/or a previous suicide attempt in 1994 and the presence of suicidal ideation in 2000 was analyzed. We found that health status in 1994 differed significantly between the groups with and without suicidal ideation or a previous suicide attempt and that the differences persisted or even deepened (not significant) after 6 years. Further, people who had suicidal ideation or a suicide attempt in 1994 had a significantly greater risk (OR = 7.4) of having suicidal ideation in 2000 than people who had not.
