导言：最近的观察表明，美国的意外伤害死亡率可能自1979年以来首次上升。方法：本研究按性别、种族、机制和年龄组检查意外伤害死亡率的趋势，以更好地了解这些增长。结果：1992 - 2002年，死亡率上升11.0%（男性6.5%，女性18.5%）。白人的死亡率上升了16.5%，但非裔美国人和其他种族的死亡率下降了。自1998年以来，白人的失业率首次超过非洲裔美国人。从1992年到2002年，跌倒率上升了39.5%，中毒率上升了121.5%。机动车辆的比率总体上没有增加。在40-64岁年龄组中，跌倒、中毒和机动车碰撞的发生率有所上升。只有65岁以上年龄组的跌倒率上升。结论：这些结果提出了一个问题，即这些增加是否有一个或多个共同的风险因素，例如最近酒精和处方药使用的增加。2006年国家安全委员会和爱思唯尔有限公司。版权所有。
Introduction: Recent observations suggest that the unintentional injury mortality rate may be increasing in the United States for the first time since 1979. Method: This study examined trends in unintentional injury mortality by sex, race, mechanism, and age group to better understand these increases. Results: From 1992 to 2002, mortality increased 11.0% (6.5% for males, 18.5% for females). The mortality rate increased 16.5% among whites, but declined among African Americans and other races. Rates among whites exceeded rates among African Americans for the first time since 1998. Fall rates increased 39.5% from 1992 to 2002, and poisoning rates increased 121.5%. Motor-vehicle rates did not increase overall. Rates in age groups from 40-64 years of age increased for falls, poisoning, and motor-vehicle crashes. Only fall rates increased for the 65+ age group. Conclusions: These results raise the issue of whether these increases have one or more risk factors in common, such as recent increases in the use of alcohol and prescription drugs.
