To examine the risk factors contributing to the mortality burden due to road traffic accidents (RTA) in Taiwan.
We compared RTA years of life lost (YLL) rates of Taiwan with those of the surrounding region. We also investigated the risk factors described by the police in a Linked Database combined from police-reported accident data and vital registration data.
RTA deaths (3,234 males/1,160 females) in vital registration data and the deaths (2,918 males/1,063 females) in the Linked Database were used.
YLL and YLL rate.
(1) YLL rates for 15-29 year olds were the highest for Taiwan and the surrounding region. (2) The YLL rate was remarkably high in the first 2 years of the legal motorcycle licensing age for males riding motorcycles. (3) The YLL rates were usually higher during the day, but were higher for young males at night. (4) Overall, the YLL rates were higher when multiple vehicles were involved and for motorcycles with large engines; however, the rate was higher for motorcycles with small engines for the older female group.
The burden due to premature mortality in RTA showed gender disparities and varied by age among personal, environment, and structure factors.
探讨导致台湾地区道路交通意外事故（RTA）所致死亡负担的危险因素。
我们将台湾地区道路交通意外事故的寿命损失年（YLL）率与周边地区进行了比较。我们还在一个由警方报告的事故数据和人口动态登记数据合并而成的关联数据库中，调查了警方描述的危险因素。
使用了人口动态登记数据中的道路交通意外事故死亡人数（男性3234人/女性1160人）以及关联数据库中的死亡人数（男性2918人/女性1063人）。
寿命损失年和寿命损失年率。
（1）台湾地区及周边地区15至29岁人群的寿命损失年率最高。（2）男性在合法获得摩托车驾照年龄的头两年内，骑摩托车时的寿命损失年率显著较高。（3）总体而言，白天的寿命损失年率通常较高，但年轻男性在夜间的寿命损失年率更高。（4）总体而言，涉及多辆车时以及发动机较大的摩托车的寿命损失年率较高；然而，老年女性群体中发动机较小的摩托车的寿命损失年率更高。
道路交通意外事故过早死亡所致负担在性别上存在差异，并且在个人、环境和结构因素方面随年龄而有所不同。
