Four hundred normal children aged between 2 weeks and 11 years were examined to determine the prevalence and site of recent injury of any type. There was evidence of injury in 37% with a steady increase in prevalence to 60% by the end of the third year of life. Bruising of the hands and feet and of the lower legs was the most frequent type of injury. Head and facial injuries were most common between 18 months and 3 years (17% of children) but were rare at other ages. Injury to the lumbar region was unusual before 5 years but was present in 14% of children of school age. In 84 children of similar age where non-accidental injury was proved or suspected a different pattern of injury was present. Sixty per cent had injuries to the head and face; this increase in prevalence was seen at all ages. These children also had more frequent injuries in the lumbar region, particularly before the age of 5 years.
对400名年龄在2周至11岁之间的正常儿童进行了检查，以确定近期各类损伤的患病率和损伤部位。有37%的儿童有受伤迹象，到3岁末患病率稳步上升至60%。手脚和小腿的瘀伤是最常见的损伤类型。头部和面部损伤在18个月至3岁之间最为常见（占儿童的17%），但在其他年龄段则很少见。5岁前腰部受伤情况不常见，但在学龄儿童中占14%。在84名年龄相仿且被证实或怀疑有非意外伤害的儿童中，存在不同的损伤模式。60%的儿童头部和面部受伤；各年龄段的患病率均有上升。这些儿童腰部受伤也更频繁，尤其是在5岁之前。
