Resumen
El suicidio es uno de los principales problemas de salud actualmente, siendo las muertes por suicidio de 800.000 al año según la OMS (2019). Se trata de un proceso complejo y multicausal, por lo que es imprescindible conocer las variables que inciden en él para poder abordar mejor este problema. En el presente trabajo se pone de manifiesto la existencia de diversas variables que parecen constituir factores de riesgo para el suicidio. Por ejemplo, se han encontrado evidencias de diferencias sexuales y evolutivas en las cifras de prevalencia del suicidio. Así mismo, se ha comprobado como el padecimiento de un trastorno por consumo de alcohol y/o de trastornos mentales, constituyen importantes factores de riesgo para el suicido. Por tanto, se considera de gran relevancia el estudio de la interacción entre las variables mencionadas, con el objetivo de poder diseñar estrategias de prevención y abordajes terapéuticos de máxima eficacia.

Suicide is complex process and has many causes which is why it is essential to understand the variables that affect it in order to approach this problem more efficiently. In this project, an exhaustive bibliographical review on this subject is included to demonstrate the existence of different variables which constitute the risk factors in suicides. For example, it has been shown that different sexual orientations and ages impact on the number of suicides cases. Likewise, it has been discovered that conditions due to abusive alcohol consumption and/or mental disorders constitute important risk factors in suicides. Taking everything into account, it is very important the study of the interaction in the mentioned variables from the various scopes with the purpose of designing preventive and therapeutic strategies of maximum efficiency.
