Abstract

Background: One of the most common methods of suicide is acute poisoning. The association of anemia with psychiatric disorders and psychiatric disorders with suicidal behavior has been know previously. Due to the lack of study on relationship of anemia with suicide, anemia and related factors in intentional suicidal attempts were performed. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was performed in Noor general hospital. 601 patients with attempted suicide self poisoning were evaluated. χ2 and logistic regression analysis was performed for data analysis. Finding: Prevalence of anemia was 33.8%. Frequency of anemia in patients according to age, sex and bipolar disorder showed significant differences. Logistic regression analysis showed the probability of suicide in women anemic patients was more than men (P = 0.022). Risk of suicide in anemic patients with bipolar disorder was 2.32 times the patients without bipolar disorder (P = 0.01). With increasing age of patients by age 60 relationship of anemia associated intentional poisoning would be increased. Conclusion: Gender, age and bipolar disorders are the related factor in patients with anemia and suicide.
