In most centres, the majority of elderly who attempted suicide were widow(er)s, often living alone, who used predominantly voluntary drug ingestion. Non\u2010fatal suicidal behaviour decreased with increasing age, whereas suicide rates rose. The ratio between fatal and non\u2010fatal behaviours was 1:2, that for males\/females almost 1:1. In the years considered, substantial stability in suicide and attempted suicide rates was observed. As their age increased, suicidal subjects displayed only a limited tendency to repeat self\u2010destructive acts. Moreover, there was little correlation between attempted suicide and suicide rates, which carries different clinical implications for non\u2010fatal suicidal behaviour in the elderly compared with younger subjects in the same WHO\/EURO study.
