Abstract
The variations in suicide mortality in England and Wales over a 100-year period (1876-1975) are explained by the development of a descriptive model. The model used in a stepwise linear regression using 5 variables including toxic gas production. The variables give a good description of the observed changes in suicide mortality. The limitations of the method and the data are discussed. Despite the limitations of the method, it can be concluded that toxic gas production affected total suicide mortality.Keywords: Causes Of Death; Data Analysis; Demographic Factors; Demography; Developed Countries; England; Europe; Historical Demography; Linear Regression; Mortality; Northern Europe; Population; Population Dynamics; Research Methodology; Social Sciences; Statistical Regression; Suicide--history; United Kingdom; Wales
