%X La conducta suicida es un verdadero problema de salud p迆blica del que nos viene advirtiendo la Organizaci車n Mundial de la Salud (OMS) desde hace a os. Este trabajo es un estudio epidemiol車gico retrospectivo de la mortalidad por suicidio en la serie hist車rica desde el a o 1960 al 1990 en el partido judicial de Priego de C車rdoba, una demarcaci車n territorial situada entre C車rdoba y Granada. El n迆mero de suicidios en dichas localidades triplica la media nacional durante este periodo, correspondiendo la modalidad mayoritariamente a la ahorcadura, que casi duplica las cifras a nivel nacional. De las variables estudiadas, las que resultan con significaci車n estad赤stica son: sexo (m芍s frecuente en hombres), edad (m芍s frecuente entre los 50 y los 59 a os), estaci車n del a o (m芍s frecuente en primavera y verano) y distribuci車n horaria (m芍s frecuente entre las 8 y las 16 horas). Suicide behaviour is a real publichealth problem, as the World Health Organization (WHO) has been warning since some years. Our work is an epidemiological study of mortality due to suicide in a historical series of cases between 1960 to 1990. Suicide cases were extracted from data in regional archives and from autopsy reports in the Priego de C車rdoba court registry office, located among the territories of C車rdoba and Granada. The number of suicides in this area triples the average of suicides in Spain during this period. The most common method used was hanging, doubling the average of this category in Spain. Our results with statistical significance were: Suicide occurred more frequently in males, and in the 50-59 year old population. With relation to temporal distribution, suicides were more frequent in spring and summer, as well as more frequent between 8:00 and 16:00 hours.
