abstract="OBJECTIVE: To use available suicide-rate data from 20 countries to see patterns and relations more clearly. METHOD: We obtained raw suicide rates from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) database from 1960 through 1997 and calculated averages and standard deviations. RESULTS: There is a positive linear relation between the variation in suicide rate and geographic latitude. CONCLUSIONS: The variation in light-dark cycles is superimposed upon human mood.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
