BACKGROUND
The importance of injury as a public health problem is not well recognized in many developing countries. Data have recently become available on injury mortality in China.
METHOD
We compared Chinese injury data based on a 100 million population segment for 1986 with data for the United States.
RESULTS
The age-adjusted death rate from all injuries for China exceeds the rate for the US (69.0 vs 61.3 per 100,000). The US has higher death rates from motor vehicle crashes, fires, and homicide; China has greater mortality from drowning, poisoning, falls, and suicide. Especially noteworthy in China are the high drowning rates among young children and the elderly and the high suicide rates in rural areas among young adults and the elderly.
CONCLUSION
Injury is an important public health problem in China, exceeding in many respects the problem in the United States. It is urgent for China to place high priority on injury research and prevention.
背景
在许多发展中国家，伤害作为一个公共卫生问题的重要性尚未得到充分认识。最近已有中国伤害死亡率的数据。
方法
我们将基于1986年1亿人口样本的中国伤害数据与美国的数据进行了比较。
结果
中国所有伤害的年龄调整死亡率超过美国（每10万人中分别为69.0例和61.3例）。美国在机动车碰撞、火灾和凶杀方面的死亡率较高；中国在溺水、中毒、跌倒和自杀方面的死亡率更高。在中国，特别值得注意的是幼儿和老年人溺水率高，以及农村地区年轻人和老年人的自杀率高。
结论
伤害在中国是一个重要的公共卫生问题，在许多方面超过了美国的问题。中国迫切需要高度重视伤害研究和预防。
