Regarding to motorcycle, it has been reported that the majority of users of motorcycles in Latin America countries, such as Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and Venezuela, were mainly young men [48], but lack of studies related to use of motorcycles in university students makes difficult the comparison with the results of the present study.…”

It would therefore be of interest for Cáceres to implement an education program in the short term and for its incidence to be analyzed in a study parallel to its implementation.…”
