According to the exclusion criteria, 7593 eligible research subjects were obtained. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between depression and SA, combining age and region. Subgroup analyses were carried out to assess the relationship between age, region and SA in depressed patients, after excluding non-depressed patients, and to inspect the interaction of age and region. Finally, further comparisons of the disparities in suicide patterns among different age groups and regional groups were made.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 7593 patients (3630 males), 655 (8.6%) patients with SA were observed. We found that depression was significantly associated with SA by age and region (all p&lt;0.05). Specifically, depressed juveniles and adults had a higher risk of SA compared with non-depressed adults, and ORs (95% CIs) were 2.62 (1.59 to 4.30) and 1.67 (1.30 to 2.13), respectively. Furthermore, rural individuals with depression, urban individuals without depression and urban individuals with depression had a higher risk of SA compared with rural participants without depression, and ORs (95% CIs) were 1.60 (1.22 to 2.12), 1.29 (1.04 to 1.61) and 2.53 (1.83 to 3.49), respectively. In subgroup analyses, we further found that depression was strongly associated with SA in juveniles (OR 2.84, 95% CI 1.19 to 6.76, p=0.018) and urban patients (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.15 to 2.40, p=0.006). Notably, the predominant methods of suicide among individuals with depression were the utilisation of sleeping pills or antidepressants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study found individuals with depression are at higher risk of SA, especially juveniles and urban individuals.
