| 摘要： | This report examines the status of motor vehicle traffic crashes as a leading or major cause of death in the United States in 1997. It is based on a study, by age and sex, of the rank-ordering of 64 causes of death which have been adopted by the National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to study the leading causes of death in the U.S. This study was originally prompted by a number of unanswered questions regarding adequate background material and appropriate information pertaining to the general concept of motor vehicle traffic crashes as a leading cause of death. Motor vehicle traffic crashes ranked 8th behind heart disease, cancer and stroke as al leading cause of death in the United States in 1997, accounting for 42,340 lives or 1.8% of total deaths for the year. This was about 1 out of every 55 deaths that occurred. For males, traffic crashes were the 8th ranked cause of death accounting for 1 out of every 41 male deaths, or a total of 27,913 lives. For females they were the 10th ranked cause of death, claiming 14,427 lives, or 1 out of every 80 female deaths that occurred. Data on the leading causes of death from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) for calendar year 1997, the latest year for which these data are available, were used for this report. |
