Resumo
The study describes the estimates of occurrence
of injury due to traffic accidents among
the Brazilian population based on data obtained
from the National Household Sample Survey
(PNAD). It is a probabilistic sample, in which
391,868 people were interviewed. in three stages,
namely municipalities, census sectors and households.
The traffic accident (TA) and the safety belt
usage variables were described according to sociodemographic
variables and region of residence.
Proportions, 95% confidence intervals, χ2 tests and
p values were calculated. 2.5% (CI95% 2.4-2.6%)
of the population reported higher traffic accident
(TA) incidence among males (3.5%; CI95%: 3.4-
3.6), youths (4.4%; CI95%: 4.2-4.6) and residents
in the Central-West region (3.3% CI95%3.0-3.6).
Most of the events involved drivers or passengers
of cars or vans (53.9%), followed by motorcyclists
or pillion passengers (30.1%), cyclists (7.6%) and
pedestrians (5.25%). The front seat safety belt is
used by 73.2% (CI95% 72.2-74.2) and the rear
seat safety belt is only used by 37.4% (CI95% 36.6-
38.2). Traffic accidents led to the abandonment of
their habitual activities by 30.7% of those involved.
The severity of injuries in traffic accidents demands
further preventive and legislative measures to reduce
such incidents.
