The deceased; suicide (inhabitants), various characteristics
Description
This table contains figures on deaths due to suicides, as far as they concerned residents of the Netherlands. The figures are broken down by marital status, mode of suicide, motive of suicide, age and gender.
The figures in this table correspond to those from the causes of death statistics, because they are based on the same source files. However, the causes of death statistics do not contain any data on the motive of suicide. This data was taken over from a historical file of suicides for the period 1950-1995. For the period 1996-present, the motif is taken from the Non-Natural Death file.
In ICD 6 to ICD 8, used in the 1950s-1978, it was not possible to code “jumping for train/metro”. For the 1950s-1978, therefore, ‘jumping for train/metro’ is not filled, but the deceased are housed in the group ‘Other methods’.
The relative figures are calculated per 100000 of the corresponding population group. The figures are calculated on the average population of the year in question.
In the statistical year 2013, CBS switched to the use of international software for automatic coding of causes of death (Iris). This makes the figures more reproducible and internationally comparable. However, there are some significant shifts in the causes of death. However, external causes of death have been processed manually as before.
