Description

The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of run-over fatalities and traffic collisions in life expectancy in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Mexico, between 2000 and 2011. Years of life expectancy lost (YLEL) were calculated for the periods 2000-2002 and 2009-2011. The results show that road traffic deaths made up between 1% and 4% of all deaths in each country. In the first period, the highest level of mortality occurred in Colombia (YLEL=0.96) and the lowest in Argentina (YLEL=0.59). In all the countries studied except Argentina, the impact of these deaths on life expectancy was reduced in the second period. The main change took place in Colombia, reaching 0.72 YLEL in the second period. It is concluded that traffic-related deaths have a negative impact on health systems, victims, the productive sector, and society in general. From this point of view, the issue of road transit must be considered a matter of public health, requiring multi-sector intervention in the design of national and regional policies.

كان الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو تقدير تأثير الوفيات والاصطدامات المرورية في متوسط العمر المتوقع في الأرجنتين وتشيلي وكولومبيا والمكسيك، بين عامي 2000 و 2011. تم حساب سنوات العمر المتوقع المفقودة (YLEL) للفترتين 2000-2002 و 2009-2011. تظهر النتائج أن الوفيات الناجمة عن حركة المرور على الطرق شكلت ما بين 1 ٪ و 4 ٪ من جميع الوفيات في كل بلد. في الفترة الأولى، حدث أعلى مستوى للوفيات في كولومبيا (YLEL =0.96) وأدنى مستوى في الأرجنتين (YLEL =0.59). في جميع البلدان التي تمت دراستها باستثناء الأرجنتين، انخفض تأثير هذه الوفيات على متوسط العمر المتوقع في الفترة الثانية. حدث التغيير الرئيسي في كولومبيا، حيث وصل إلى 0.72 YLEL في الفترة الثانية. وخلص إلى أن الوفيات المرتبطة بالمرور لها تأثير سلبي على النظم الصحية والضحايا والقطاع الإنتاجي والمجتمع بشكل عام. من وجهة النظر هذه، يجب اعتبار مسألة العبور البري مسألة تتعلق بالصحة العامة، وتتطلب تدخلًا متعدد القطاعات في تصميم السياسات الوطنية والإقليمية.

Dans la première période, le plus haut niveau de mortalité a eu lieu en Colombie (YLEL =0,96) et le plus bas en Argentine (YLEL=0,59).
