对于大多数年龄段的男性，男性的溺水率高。 1991年的全国家庭调查（N = 3042）的数据使用水生活动的数据用于检查有关性别差异溺水率的假设。 （1）接触水生环境； （2）涉及或潜在涉及浸没的水生活动的频率； （3）游泳训练和能力； （4）水生风险行为； （5）在水上或附近使用酒精。男性的暴露，风险和饮酒风险较高。得出的结论是，几个因素有助于它们相对较高的溺水率，包括高估能力和大量饮酒之间的相互作用。
Men have higher drowning rates than women for most age groups. Data from a 1991 national household survey (n = 3042) on aquatic activities were used to examine hypotheses about differential drowning rates by sex. Men and women were compared by (1) exposure to aquatic environments; (2) frequency of aquatic activities involving, or potentially involving, submersion; (3) swimming training and ability; (4) aquatic risk-taking behaviors; and (5) alcohol use on or near the water. Men had elevated risks for exposure, risk taking and alcohol use. It was concluded that several factors contribute to their relatively high drowning rates, including a possible interaction between overestimation of abilities and heavy alcohol use.
