RESUMEN

Objetivo. Estimar la prevalencia de autolesión no suicida en adolescentes y jóvenes mexicanos, y caracterizar la conducta considerando variables sociodemográficas. Material y métodos. Análisis secundario de la Encodat 2025, con una muestra de 7 428 adolescentes y jóvenes mexicanos de 12 a 29 años. Resultados. La prevalencia nacional de ANS alguna vez fue de 7.1%, con un promedio de edad de inicio de 13 años. El principal método de autolesión fueron los cortes, y la zona más frecuente, las extremidades superiores. El 19.1% requirió tratamiento médico debido a las lesiones. Las mujeres, población adolescente, personas que viven en la Ciudad de México y quienes estudian y trabajan o no tienen actividad, tuvieron mayor probabilidad de ANS. Conclusión. Es prioritario el trabajo preventivo con los adolescentes que refuercen herramientas de regulación emocional, así como en su contexto social.
