Mild cognitive impairment is associated with passive suicidal ideation in older adults: A population-based study

Objective

To investigate the association between MCI and passive/active suicidal ideation in a population-based sample of older adults.

Method

The sample included 916 participants without dementia acquired from the two population-based studies Prospective Population Study of Women (PPSW) and the H70-study. Cognitive status was assessed using a comprehensive neuropsychiatric examination and classified according to the Winblad et al. criteria: 182 participants were classified as cognitively intact, 448 had cognitive impairment but did not fulfill MCI criteria and 286 were diagnosed with MCI. Passive/active suicidal ideation was assessed using the Paykel questions.

Results

Passive or active suicidal ideation (any level) was reported by 16.0% of those with MCI and 1.1% of those who were cognitively intact. MCI was associated with past year life-weariness (OR 18.32, 95% CI 2.44–137.75) and death wishes (OR 5.30, 95% CI 1.19–23.64) in regression models adjusted for covariates including major depression. Lifetime suicidal ideation was reported more frequently in MCI (35.7%) than in cognitively intact participants (14.8%). MCI was associated with lifetime life-weariness (OR 2.90, 95% CI 1.67–5.05). Among individuals with MCI, impairments in memory and visuospatial ability were associated with both past year and lifetime life-weariness.

Conclusion

Our findings suggest reports of past year as well as lifetime passive suicidal ideation to be more frequent among individuals with MCI compared to those cognitively intact, indicating that individuals with MCI may constitute a high-risk group for suicidal behavior.     

结婚率对我国女性生育健康的影响

目的：探究我国近些年来的低结婚率对女性生育与生理健康方面的影响。方法：对我国2010年至2018年的结婚登记人数、节育手术中人工流产数量及每年女性婚检时发现的相关病例数等相关数据做描述性分析，利用SPSS对每年的结婚数量与相关的健康因素数据做相关性分析及线性回归。结果：结婚登记人数与人流手术数量有显著的负相关（R=－0.688，P＜0.05），结婚登记人数越少人流手术数量越多。人流手术数量与女性患有性病人数有显著的正相关（R=0.931，P＜0.05），人流手术数量越多女性患有性病人数越多。结论：在鼓励结婚与生育的“年轻化”的同时应加强对女性生理生育健康的科普教育，增强对自身健康的重视与保护意识。
