N2  - OBJECTIVE: To examine for a relationship between serum cholesterol and suicidal behavior. <br><br>METHODS: Patients admitted after an overdose (N=120) were compared with controls (N=120) for their serum cholesterol levels. <br><br>RESULTS: Patients who had overdosed had significantly lower serum cholesterol levels than controls (mean+/-S.D. 171+/-31 vs. 196+/-30 mg/dl, P<0.0001). <br><br>CONCLUSION: These results add to a grouping literature reporting that low serum cholesterol is associated with suicidal behavior.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
