Objective: To determine the factors associated with suicide mortality in men and women over 18 years from countries of Latin America.

An electronic search was performed with the following databases: BVS, EBSCOhost, EMBASE, LILACS, PubMed, ProQuest, PsycNET, ScienceDirect, SciELO, Scopus and WoS. We included 57 ecological population studies, one qualitative study and 3 case-control studies. The latest update of the search was on January 5, 2016.

Which are grouped into demographic factors, socioeconomic status, social difficulties and morbid history. Were also found a series of inferential data in the studies. Discussion: The available evidence in Latin America, is reduced to 5 countries only (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay) and is full of biases that hinder the extrapolation of the results, although it realizes that there are marked differences with Europe, Asia and the United States that is where as many publications are concentrated, therefore this research is expected to be a reference for intervention on the subject. Conclusions: In this RS a number of factors associated with mortality by suicide in adults in Latin America were found, which are distinctive among countries, age groups and years of study. Grouping them into demographic, psychiatric and other factors. Thus complying with the objectives and hypotheses of the study.
