目的：如果女性和男性遭受相似的潜在致命身体冲击，他们中的哪一个(在其他因素相同的情况下)更有可能死亡？这个问题是使用245,836起交通死亡事件来解决的，方法：死亡风险比率是使用汽车、轻型卡车和摩托车的碰撞数据估计的，其中有两名乘客，至少一人死亡。安全带的使用、头盔的使用和座位位置的组合导致了14种乘员类别。结果：所有14种乘员类别的死亡风险和性别之间的关系都是相似的。从青春期前到50多岁，女性死亡风险超过男性风险，从20岁到35岁，女性风险比男性风险高出(28+/-3)%。结论：虽然14个乘员类别的具体伤害机制有很大差异，但性别对死亡风险的影响并不明显，这意味着这种关系反映了根本的性别依赖差异。
Objective: If a female and a male suffer similar potentially lethal physical impacts, which of them (other factors being equal) is more likely to die? This question is addressed using 245,836 traffic fatalities,Methods: Fatality risk ratios were estimated using crash data for cars, light trucks, and motorcycles with two occupants, at least one being killed. Combinations of seat belt use, helmet use, and seating location led to 14 occupant categories.Results: Relationships between fatality risk and gender are similar for all 14 occupant categories. Female fatality risk exceeds male risk from preteens to late 50s, For ages from about 20 to about 35, female risk exceeds male risk by (28 +/- 3)%.Conclusion: Whereas specific injury mechanisms differ greatly between the 14 occupant categories, the effect of gender on fatality risk does not, thus implying that the relationships reflect fundamental gender-dependent differences.
