SUMMARY:

Suicide is a complex, multi-determined phenomenon. It is a serious public health problem worldwide, and the highest rates are observed in young and elderly men. There are multiple risk factors correlated to male suicide, highlighting mental disorders, financial crises, unemployment, and access to highly lethal means of perpetration, such as firearms. This dissertation aims to analyze the effects of age, period, and cohort on total and firearm suicides in men in Brazil and Major Regions in the period 1980 to 2019. As well as evaluating the spatial distribution of mortality rates from suicide in men in the municipalities of the Northeast region, in the period 2015 to 2019, in the age groups from 10 to 80 years and over, and correlation with sociodemographic indicators. Corrections for quality and underreporting of death records were performed and age, period and cohort (APC) models were estimated using estimable functions. In the spatial distribution, standardized death rates were calculated for 100,000 men and smoothed using the empirical Bayesian estimator and spatial autocorrelation analysis using the global and local Moran Index (LISA). The analyses were performed using QGis, Geoda and R softwareIn the period under study, Brazil had 10.22 deaths per 100,000 men, the South and Central-West regions had higher coefficients than the national one and the lowest in the Southeast and Northeast, asimilar profile was found in suicides by firearms. The effects of age, period, and cohort for total suicides were different from those observed for firearm suicides. For total suicides, there was a positive gradient in the mortality rate with advancing age, and in those committed by firearms, a peak incidence was identified between 35-44 years of age, with subsequent stabilization. Reduction in the risk of death for suicides perpetrated by firearms in relation to the reference period (1995-1999) for all locations, except in the North region where the effect was not significant. The younger generations from the 1960s onwards had a higher risk of death by total suicide and a lower risk for those perpetrated by firearms. The spatial distribution of death rates from male suicide per 100,000 men, the Northeast Region had a rate of 11.86 deaths, with a progressive increase in mortality rates with advancing age. The LISA indicated the presence of high mortality clusters in the municipalities of Piauí and Ceará, and there was no statistically significant correlation between socioeconomic indicators and suicide mortality. The helplessness experienced by elderly Brazilians due to precarious living conditions may be correlated with the effect of age and cohort observed in total suicides. And the status of Disarmament may be correlated with the reduction of suicides by this means of perpetration.
