"Our findings confirmed the excess of suicide risk among agricultural, forestry, and fishery workers and quantified this excess by a pooled effect size of 1.48 (95% CI 1.30-1.68). This excess may be even higher for such workers in Japan. This review highlights the need for suicide prevention policies focusing on this specific population of workers."
