Revised road traffic safety law and years of life lost due to traffic deaths in China, 2002–2019

Global, Regional, and National Burden of Road Injuries from 1990 to 2019

In 1990, China had the highest DALYs (13,739,515 [11,907,510–18,430,633]).…”

“…East Asia and Andean Latin America have the most severe RIs burden on pedestrians, with deaths/DALYs exceeding 50% deaths.

Therefore, regardless of the world group division, RIs differ.…”

“…In recent years, traffic rules and legislation implementation have improved conditions. In China, the revised road traffic safety law came into effect in 2011, and the number of years of life lost (YLLs) subsequently decreased significantly from 1133.14 in 2011 to 848.87 in 2019 [ 20 ] per 100,000 people.…”

Reflections on mission and priorities of Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Research (SAVIR) during my first 100 days as president

“…A total of 150 mid-and-senior-level injury researchers and practitioners attended the training workshop and a group of them came to the USA to receive hands-on research training at our two injury control research centres. Many of our trainees have become esteemed scholars and leaders who hold key leadership positions at universities as well as at local, provincial and national CDC (China CDC) 6–8. More importantly, due to their efforts as well as contributions of other researchers, professionals and leaders, injury control research has become a reputable discipline among the two dozen health-related scientific fields in China.…”
