MORTALIDAD POR ACCIDENTES DE MOTOS. MEDELLIN 1977-1978
Abstract
In Latin America, as in developed countries, traffic accidents have become a real problem for public health (1), due to the high risk of causing injuries, disability, invalidity and death. Therefore, in recent years, these countries have begun to study the magnitude of this common problem from the social, economic and public health point of view (2).
According to PAHO (2) for the period between 1969 and 1975, in most countries there was an increase in both the number of vehicles and the accident rate; however, comparisons from country to country are difficult not only from the legal and administrative point of view, but mainly due to deficiencies in the management of records. For Colombia, according to the same source, traffic accidents increased for this period by 2450/year.
