Objective: To study the associations of pedestrian injuries with age, income and educational level in Shanghai and to analyze the relative disease burden.
Methods: Information on pedestrian-related cases and deaths were collected from 494 hospitals and mortality registry systems from 1992 to 2010, and a multistage cluster sampling survey conducted in 2006. Logistic regression model was used in the analyses.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between age, educational level, and fall-related injuries in Shanghai, analyzing related costs from 2001 to 2010.
- Out of 45,857 participants, 674 reported fall-related injuries, with mortality rates increasing significantly, particularly among children under 14 and older adults.
- Findings indicated a correlation between lower educational levels and higher incidence of injuries, pointing to children under five and older adults as critical groups for targeted interventions.
China is known as the Bicycle Kingdom, but the nature, extent, and costs of bicycle-related injuries remain largely unknown. The authors' findings showed that the bicycle-related mortality rate increased 99% from 1992 to 2004, and it increased with age, from 0.64 per 100,000 population in the 0-14 age group to 5.

In China, traffic-related injuries are often treated as transportation issues, called 'accidents'. The objectives of the research are to analyse traffic injury patterns, estimate costs of traffic injuries and provide evidence to develop effective prevention strategies. There were over 1 500 deaths due to traffic-related injuries annually in Shanghai from 1987 to 2003, and it is rising year by year with the rate of growth in motorization.

Methods: In this study, epidemiological method and Grey dynamic model GM (1,1) were introduced to analyze and forecast traffic-injury mortality rates respectively.
Results: There was an apparent increasing trend of traffic-related injuries in Shanghai from 1987 to 2003 with the rate of growth in motorization.
