English abstract:
      This review aims to comprehensively investigate the fluctuating trends of suicide rate in several countries around the world, analyze the gender characteristics of the suicide rate trend, discuss the influence of suicide method related influencing factors on the trend of suicide rate, and surmise the causes of suicide rate change in China. Over the past two decades, suicide rates have declined in most countries, including China, remained stable in countries such as South Africa, and increased in a few countries such as Britain, the United States and Brazil. Suicide rate trends have gender differences, and are also affected by the changes in the composition and lethality of suicide methods. The decline in suicide rate in China is mainly related to the reduction in both female suicides and pesticide suicides.
