This study examined the trends in the relative risks for being involved in fatal occupational highway transportation accidents based upon the age and gender of the victim.
Significant differences in relative risks were identified based upon age; however, there were no significant differences in relative risks based upon gender. The trend analysis of relative risks for all motor-vehicle accidents based upon age showed that males exhibited a significant cubic trend while females exhibited a significant linear trend. The trend analysis of relative risks for fatal motor-vehicle accidents specifically involving vehicle operators based upon age yielded a significant quadratic trend for males and no significant trends for females. Examining the relative risks for fatalities involving only motor-vehicle operators controlled, to a certain extent, the differences in job exposure to motor-vehicle accidents based upon age.
Prevention measures are identified as most crucial for older male workers in the transportation and agriculture industries.
本研究基于受害者的年龄和性别，考察了致命职业公路运输事故相对风险的趋势。
基于年龄确定了相对风险的显著差异；然而，基于性别的相对风险没有显著差异。基于年龄对所有机动车事故相对风险的趋势分析表明，男性呈现出显著的三次趋势，而女性呈现出显著的线性趋势。基于年龄对特别涉及车辆操作员的致命机动车事故相对风险的趋势分析显示，男性呈现出显著的二次趋势，而女性没有显著趋势。考察仅涉及机动车操作员的死亡相对风险，在一定程度上控制了基于年龄的机动车事故工作暴露差异。
预防措施被确定为对运输和农业行业的老年男性工人最为关键。
