Unintentional injury and death as a public health concern has not been established in the pediatric population. This is a commentary on a review of epidemiological data of unintentional deaths and injuries with a focus on age, sex, and racial differences in this population. The review takes in-depth look at children aged 0-19 years in the US, followed by a discussion of strategies suggested to address mechanisms of these injuries/deaths. Lifestyle clinicians have a significant role in educating this population and their parent/guardians. Therefore providing insight into the interpretation of the data can support practical education and prevention interventions.
作为一个公共卫生问题,意外伤害和死亡在儿科人群中尚未得到证实。这是一篇关于意外伤害和死亡流行病学数据综述的评论,重点关注该人群中的年龄、性别和种族差异。该综述深入研究了美国0至19岁的儿童,随后讨论了为解决这些伤害/死亡机制而建议的策略。生活方式临床医生在教育这一人群及其父母/监护人方面发挥着重要作用。因此,深入了解数据的解读可以支持实际的教育和预防干预措施。
