  • Abstract:
    This report examines the status of motor vehicle traffic crashes as a leading

    cause of death by age and sex of the person. The data used in this report are

    based upon mortality data for the United States for the calendar year 1992 from

    the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Center for Health

    Statistics (NCHS). NCHS compiles information from a census of death

    certificate records furnished to NCHS by the fifty States, the District of

    Columbia, and the five boroughs of New York City. The NCHS data are used in

    this report to illustrate how motor vehicle crash deaths rank as a leading

    cause of death for all ages, for males and females separately, and for various

    age/sex categories. The number of deaths from motor vehicle traffic crashes

    obtained from NCHS are approximately 2% greater than that reported in FARS due

    to reporting differences. For persons ages 5-27, motor vehicle traffic crashes

    were the leading cause of death, representing 26% of all deaths in this age

    group and 36% of all motor vehicle traffic deaths that occurred in 1992. Among

    males, motor vehicle traffic deaths were the leading cause of death for ages

    6-9, 11-18, and 20-22. For females, motor vehicle "traffic deaths were the

    leading cause of death for ages 5-28, representing 27% of all deaths for females

    in this age group and 34% of all female deaths in 1992. Motor vehicle traffic

    crashes in 1992 ranked 8th as a cause of death in the U. S., accounting for

    39,985 deaths (1 .8% of all deaths). 64p.
