TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Variation in European suicide rates is better accounted for by latitude and longitude than by national percentage of Finno-Ugrians and Type O blood: A rebuttal of Lester and Kondrichin (2004) JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Voracek, M. A1 - Formann, A.K. SP - 1243 EP - 1250 VL - 99 IS - 3 II N2 - The variation in contemporary suicide rates for men and women across 20 European nations is, in terms of shared variance, better accounted for by latitude and longitude than by national percentage of Finno-Ugrians and Type O blood, thus supporting the conclusion of Voracek, et al. in 2003 and refuting the supposition of Lester and Kondrichin of 2004.

DISCUSSION focuses on possible bases of this finding and on research problems pertaining to relations between suicide and blood type. © Perceptual and Motor Skills 2004.
