Resumen
CASADO BLANCO, M.. Suicide in the over 65´s in the county of Badajoz: forensic analysis. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2002, n.28, pp.25-32. ISSN 1988-611X.
The present paper presents data of the suicides committed in a specific territorial field, the province of Badajoz, during a five-year period. In each case of successful suicide , a series of variables which could influence suicidal conduct are analysed. We have tried to obtain valid conclusions which we could extrapolate to the suicidal population in general aged over 65. Our intention is to make a small contribution to a line of research which aims at a better nderstanding of suicide so as to facilitate preventive action.
