Why the study?
Studies examining the relationship between lipid profile and the risk of parasuicide or suicide show conflicting results.
Is dyslipidemia associated with an increased risk of suicidal behavior?
Is dyslipidemia associated with an increased risk of suicidal behavior?
Dyslipidemia, particularly low cholesterol, may be a risk factor for suicidal behavior, highlighting a potential non-cardiovascular implication of lipid levels.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Dyslipidemia may flag suicide risk; leaves open its utility as a clinical marker pending prospective validation.
The present paper aims at a systematic review of the current knowledge on the relationship between dyslipidemia and the risk of suicidal behavior. Studies examining the relationship between lipid profile and risk of parasuicide/suicide show conflicting results. Most of the data suggest that dyslipidemia, especially low cholesterol, is a risk factor for suicidal behavior. Further investigation is needed into the possibility of using dyslipidemia as a marker of suicidal behavior.
