What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to unintentional injuries. |
| Why this is important: Unintentional injuries are a leading cause of death for Americans of all ages, regardless of gender, race, or economic status. In 2007, unintentional injuries were the fifth leading cause of death overall in the U.S. In 2007, 123,706 people in the United States died from unintentional injuries. Major categories of unintentional injuries include motor-vehicle collisions, poisonings, and falls. The Healthy People 2020 national health target is to reduce the deaths caused by unintentional injuries to 36 deaths per 100,000 population. |
