ABSTRACT

Objective. To compare and analyze the main characteristics associated with pedestrian injuries mortality in Mexico City. Material and Methods. A crossectional design was done using the mortality database related with pedestrian fatality during the periods 1994-1997 and 2004-2007. Variables as sex, age, residence, education and place of event occurrence were analyzed. Standardized mortality ratios by delegation were used to the analysis. Results. There was a reduction during 2004-2007 at least 17.5% in deaths by pedestrian injuries and mortality rate of 1.9/100.000 inhabitants on the first period. The high decrease was in men (4,6/100.000) than in women (1,2/100.000). (p‹0,05). Four delegations presented the highest risk of pedestrian injuries death during both periods. Conclusions. Results show significant changes among both periods. Differences by sex pointed out the need of a differential analysis of the problem. Contribute to elaborate new research questions to be addressed in the future to work on the prevention of this public health problem.
