Examined changes in the age patterns of U.S. male and female suicide rates from 1934 to 1983. Found among Whites the age patterns of male and female suicide rates have become less concordant since about 1960. Found the age patterns of non-Whites have become more concordant since the mid-1950s. Identifies problems accounting for these changes. (Author/ABL)
