Abstract: Objectives:Epidemiology researchers have used a wide range of spatial analysis techniques. A spatial dependence of cancer was proven. [i] Mental diseases have not been studied from a spatial perspective.The objective of this work is to study the spatial and temporal variation of suicide in Spain between 1993-2016 and its association with environmental factors.[i] Goovaerts, P. (2013) Analysis of geographical disparities in temporal trends of health outcomes using spaceu2013time joinpoint regression. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation. 22, 75-85.Background:Suicide data was obtained from the Spanish National Statistic Institute. The radiation map was obtained from the European Commissionu2019s Science and knowledge ServiceMaterials and Methods:23 maps were built. Spatial and geostatistical analysis were carried out by Geographical Information System QGIS and Geostatistic software Gstst; respectively. Regressions for the year 2016 were obtained.Results and Conclusions:Suicide showed a spatial and temporal variability. Suicide showed a negative tendency between 1993 and 2016. A negative correlation was found between suicide and annual mean radiation (R2= 0,144; p-value<0.05). A negative correlation was found between suicide and mean net income (R2=0,17; p-value<0.05). Suicide showed spatial structure during the years of study.Semivariograms proved a spatial dependence of suicide for first time. Suicide showed a marked spatial pattern. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated a relationship between suicide and climatic and economic variables. Spatial analysis techniques could allow researchers to acquire deeper knowledge of suicide distribution and develop high accuracy prediction models.
