SUICIDE RATE FORECASTING IN THE CITIES OF UST-KAMENOGORSK, SEMEY, AND PAVLODAR REGION USING A MATHEMATICAL MODEL
Introduction. Suicides are a serious public health problem worldwide. Every year, 726,000 people die from suicide, and many more attempt suicide. Each suicide is a tragedy affecting families, communities, and entire countries, with long-term consequences for the bereaved.
Objective: Calculate the suicide forecast in the cities of Ust-Kamenogorsk, Semey, and Pavlodar region using a mathematical model.
Materials and Methods: Cohort retrospective study. Descriptive statistics were used to present absolute and relative indicators. The Student's t-test was used to compare means between two groups with normal distribution. The Pearson chi-square test was used to compare means between two categorical variables. Data from forensic examinations in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Semey, and Pavlodar region were collected for the period from 2013 to 2022, including 3657 cases of suicide. Variables: age, gender, place of residence.
Results. Among the regions, Pavlodar region occupies the leading position in completed suicides (45.6%), followed by Ust-Kamenogorsk (30.8%), and the lowest number of completed suicides is registered in the city of Semey (23.6%). Depending on gender, a greater number of completed suicides is noted among the male population (84.5%). The model describes the data as follows: the actual suicide rate for 2022 was 20.8 cases per 100,000 people, predicted – 21.2 cases per 100,000 people; for 2023 – 20.6 cases per 100,000 people, predicted – 21.1 cases per 100,000 people. Based on our model, a decrease in the suicide rate is forecasted from 20.9 cases per 100,000 people to 20.4 cases per 100,000 people from 2024 to 2028.
Conclusions. n the studied regions, a high level of suicides persists. Based on our model, a decrease in the suicide rate is projected from 20.9 cases per 100,000 people to 20.4 cases per 100,000 people from 2024 to 2028.
