Motor vehicle-related injuries are a major cause of death and economic burden in Wisconsin. We examined motor vehicle-related mortality trends in Wisconsin from 1986 to 1996. During this time, overall mortality decreased by 12% and Wisconsin has met its year 2000 goal. However, mortality rates did not improve for women and non-whites. In addition, mortality rates increased in persons over 75 years. There are several explanations that may account for the overall mortality rate decline, but the reasons for the differences between age, racial, and gender groups are unclear.
在威斯康星州，与机动车相关的伤害是死亡和经济负担的主要原因。我们研究了1986年至1996年威斯康星州与机动车相关的死亡率趋势。在此期间，总体死亡率下降了12%，威斯康星州已实现其2000年目标。然而，女性和非白人的死亡率并未改善。此外，75岁以上人群的死亡率有所上升。有几种解释可能说明总体死亡率下降的原因，但年龄、种族和性别群体之间差异的原因尚不清楚。
