Abstract
This review study fills an important gap by aiming to determine the age changes in
attempted and completed suicide in Iran during the past decade. A systematic review of related articles in international and Iranian databases from January 2008 to January
2020 was first conducted and relevant studies were extracted based on established
criteria. Results showed that the mean age of suicide in Iran is 29.8 (range 27.7 –
31.8) years old for men and 27.4 (range 25.8 – 28.9) for women (P<0.0001). The
youngest and oldest populations of completed suicide belong to eastern and central
regions of the country respectively. Findings imply the critical importance of increasing
awareness through educational programs and public health campaigns to increase
awareness and reduce suicidal behavior in Iran
