N2  - PURPOSE: To evaluate changes in standardized suicide rates in Brazil between 2000 and 2016, stratified by sex and age. <br><br>METHODS: Descriptive analyses of data from the Brazilian Mortality Information System were performed. <br><br>RESULTS: 156,292 suicides were registered in the period, with a standardized rate of 4.82/100,000. The risk for males was 3.81 times higher than for females, without meaningful regional variations. This ratio was 8.2 at the 80+ group. An increase from 2000 to 2016 was demonstrated in nearly all subgroups over the 17, especially men aged 20-39 and women aged 40-59. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Suicide rates continue to rise in Brazil, especially among young men and middle-aged women. Older men remain exposed to the highest absolute risk.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
