intihar vakalarına ilişkin veriler 1962 yılından itibaren
tüm Türkiye bazında Jandarma ve emniyet
teşkilatları yetkililerinin doldurduğu “İntihar İstatistik
Formu” aracılığı ile toplanmaktadır. Elde edilen sonuçlar
her yıl derlenip yıllık olarak yayınlanmaktadır.
Bu yazıda 1974-1996 yılları arasında 65 yaş
ve üstü grupta intihar sebepleri, yöntemleri, yaş,
cinsiyet özellikleri açısından değerlendirilerek daha
önce yapılmış diğer çalışmalar ile karşılaştırılmıştır.

Sonuç olarak toplumda ortalama yaşın artması,
hızlı sosyal ve ekonomik değişimler, göç ve diğer
sosyal stresörlere paralel olarak yaşlı intiharları sayısında
artma görülmektedir
