Age-specific death rates for pedestrian-car accidents among the populations living in four contiguous areas of a large city, one being the downtown area and the others gradually more removed from it, were compared. The rates are highest downtown and decrease progressively in the outlying areas, the absolute differences between areas being largest above age 65. These data suggest that pedestrian accident prevention efforts should take into account the specific needs of the elderly living in the inner city.
对大城市四个相邻区域居民中行人与汽车碰撞事故的年龄别死亡率进行了比较。其中一个区域是市中心区,其他区域则逐渐远离市中心。死亡率在市中心最高,在偏远地区逐渐下降,各区域之间的绝对差异在65岁以上人群中最大。这些数据表明,预防行人事故的努力应考虑到内城老年人的特殊需求。
