During the period 1960-89 there has been a significant change in the pattern of maxillofacial injuries. In spite of increased motoring, road traffic accidents as a cause of facial injuries have been surpassed by injuries caused by violent behaviour. This may be explained by a change in the social structure, with a tendency towards a more hostile community and lack of social network. The victims are usually young, single, uneducated men without work who live in the cities. 50% had been drinking alcohol at the time of the accident. 60% of the injuries occurred at night, and 79% during the weekend. Does this imply that the main cause of maxillofacial injuries is one of behaviour?
在1960年至1989年期间，颌面损伤的模式发生了显著变化。尽管机动车数量增加，但作为面部损伤原因的道路交通事故已被暴力行为导致的损伤所超越。这可能是由于社会结构的变化，倾向于形成更具敌意的社区且缺乏社会网络。受害者通常是居住在城市的年轻、单身、未受过教育且无工作的男性。50%的人在事故发生时饮酒。60%的损伤发生在夜间，79%发生在周末。这是否意味着颌面损伤的主要原因是行为因素之一？
