Gender differences in the association between smoking and the risk of suicide in depressed patients: a longitudinal national cohort study
Smoking is associated with increased suicide risk among individuals with depression, with notable gender differences in risk magnitude and modifying factors. These findings highlight the need for gender-specific suicide prevention strategies. Limitations include reliance on self-reported smoking data and lack of time-varying measures of exposure.
