Mortalidad por accidentes de tránsito: su determinación social. Distrito Metropolitano de Quito, 2013

Abstract: Introducción: los accidentes de tránsito (AT) constituyen una importante causa de mortalidad en el mundo, y en los últimos años han ocupado los primeros lugares en el Distrito Metropolitano de Quito (DMQ). Los marcos conceptuales clásicos para el abordaje de la mortalidad por AT han sido: el enfoque de salud pública, el modelo sistémico y la matriz de Haddon. Desarrollo: se describen las características de los modelos clásicos y, desde la mirada de la Epidemiología Crítica (EC) y de la teoría crítica del espac… Show more

“…Particularly in our study, we found that the number of deaths among pedestrians has shown a reduction over time, almost by half, specifically in Colombia, although the reduction percentages have been higher in other countries, close to 60%. 26 We found the deaths among pedestrians are concentrated in older adults. In a study developed in Brazil, it has been described that they correspond to almost one-third of the overall mortality due to traffic accidents.…”

“…27 Among other reasons, the risk derives from the existence of a traffic environment that is essentially dangerous and challenging for pedestrians and cyclists. 26 Consequently, improving road safety for pedestrians is substantial, as it can be a representative element of the population's quality of life. 27 In relation to the mortality profiles found, important differences were observed between municipalities with high, moderate, and low population density when compared to those with very high population density.…”
