RESUMEN
OBJETIVO:
Comparar y analizar las principales características de los peatones asociadas con muertes por atropellamiento en la Ciudad de México. MATERIAL YMÉTODOS:
Diseño transversal comparativo que emplea registros de muertes por atropellamiento en la Ciudad de México durante dos periodos iguales 1994-1997 y 2004-2007.Variables analizadas sexo, edad, lugar de residencia y de ocurrencia,escolaridad y cohorte de nacimiento.Se elaboraron razones estandarizadas de mortalidad por delegación.RESULTADOS:
La mortalidad por atropellamientos en 2004-2007 desciende 17.5 por ciento y la tasa en 1.9/100.000 habitantes respecto del primer periodo. El descenso es mayor en hombres (4,6/100.000) que en mujeres (1,2/100,000). El riesgo se concentra en cuatro delegaciones, para ambos períodos.CONCLUSIONES:
La metodología permite observar cambios significativos entre los periodos analizados y genera la necesidad del análisis por sexo. Los resultados plantean nuevas preguntas a resolver con otros diseños encaminados a la prevención de este problema de salud pública.ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To compare and analyze the main characteristics associated with pedestrian injuries mortality in Mexico City. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
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 evento ccurrence were analyzed. Standardized mortality ratios by delegation were used to the analysis.RESULTS:
There was a reduction during 2004-2007 at least 17.5 percent 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.
