This article reviews motor vehicle accident (MVA) deaths from 1979 through 2004, with a more in-depth look from 2000 onwards. The data are from the Vital Statistics Death Database. Crude and age-standardized death rates were used to examine mortality over time. Average annual death rates were compared by age, sex and other selected characteristics. The average daily number of deaths was used to show seasonal fluctuations. Deaths resulting from motor vehicle accidents declined from 25 deaths per 100,000 population in 1979 to 9 deaths per 100,000 population in 2004. Despite this decline, motor vehicle accidents remain a leading cause of death for young people. From 2000 through 2004, MVA deaths accounted for 1.3% of all deaths Canada, but 17.3% of all deaths among people younger than 30. Males consistently had higher MVA death rates than did females
本文回顾了1979年至2004年期间的机动车事故（MVA）死亡情况，并对2000年以后的情况进行了更深入的研究。数据来自生命统计死亡数据库。使用粗死亡率和年龄标准化死亡率来研究随时间变化的死亡率。按年龄、性别和其他选定特征比较了平均年死亡率。平均每日死亡人数用于显示季节性波动。机动车事故导致的死亡人数从1979年的每10万人25例降至2004年的每10万人9例。尽管有所下降，但机动车事故仍然是年轻人死亡的主要原因。2000年至2004年期间，机动车事故死亡人数占加拿大所有死亡人数的1.3%，但在30岁以下人群的所有死亡人数中占17.3%。男性的机动车事故死亡率一直高于女性。
