“…The higher prevalence of male donors is in accordance with the literature, and presumably with the fact that men die younger of cardiovascular disease and external causes (6,9,11,12) . This fact is relevant due to the high economic impact that this specific population represents to the economy of a nation, leading to a loss of immeasurable value to society (13) .…”

“…We believe that it reflects a trend of large urban centers where youngsters are progressively more related to the various types of deaths associated with external causes, from crime to car accidents. The literature shows a number of studies demonstrating the relation of deaths by external causes in younger ages (11,12) .

“…(1,10) In other countries, studies on motorcycle accidents have also reported the prevalence of young male motorcyclists among fatal and non-fatal victims, including Thailand, New Zealand, the United States, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Greece. (11)(12)(13)(14) Motorcycle accidents have an impact on society due to lost years of productive life, functional disabilities, costs related to social services and health, and suffering. Several studies on injured motorcyclists were conducted in the late 2000s that focused on trauma severity, helmet use or non-use, intake of alcohol and hospital cost, aiming to diagnose and obtain data to support prevention programs.…”

“…Several studies on injured motorcyclists were conducted in the late 2000s that focused on trauma severity, helmet use or non-use, intake of alcohol and hospital cost, aiming to diagnose and obtain data to support prevention programs. (10)(11)(12)(13)(14) Vulnerability of motorcyclists at the time of the accident may lead to traumatic injury due to absorption of generated energy, frequently resulting in fractures of the extremities and cranioencephalic traumas, which may extend the length of stay and cause complications. In the studied sample, the main body regions with traumatic injury were similar to those of other studies, that is, head, lower limbs and face.…”
