  1. Methods • Whole Sweden 1990-94; children 0-19 years • National Hospital Discharge and Causes of Death registers • Boys and girls in 4 age groups • 4 socio-economic groups • 4 diagnosis groups within traffic • Relative Risks (compared with high and middle level salaried employees) Laflamme & Engström BMJ 2002;324:396-7

  2. Injury incidence per 100 000 person-years at different ages Laflamme & Engström BMJ 2002;324:396-7

  3. Sex-related RR at different ages and for different categories of road users RR RR shown only if CIs > 1.0 Laflamme & Engström BMJ 2002;324:396-7

  4. RR for different categories of road users - 0-4 years RR RR shown only if CIs > 1.0 Laflamme & Engström BMJ 2002;324:396-7

  5. RR for different categories of road users - 5-9 years RR RR shown only if CIs > 1.0 Laflamme & Engström BMJ 2002;324:396-7

  6. RR for different categories of road users - 10-14 years RR RR shown only if CIs > 1.0 Laflamme & Engström BMJ 2002;324:396-7

  7. RR for different categories of road users - 15-19 years RR RR shown only if CIs > 1.0 Laflamme & Engström BMJ 2002;324:396-7

  8. Summary I • Injury incidences are particularly high in the case of bicycle-related injuries among 10-14 year-olds and injuries as motor-vehicle driver among the 15-19 year-olds • Road-traffic-injury risks are higher among boys than girls most remarkably in the case of bicycle and MV driver injuries Laflamme & Engström BMJ 2002;324:396-7

  9. Summary II • Socio-economic patterning in road-traffic injuries is negligible in early childhood • Socio-economic differences increase with increasing age • They also increase when youth come into contact with motorized vehicles Laflamme & Engström BMJ 2002;324:396-7
