    • Abstract:
      This report examines the status of motor vehicle traffic crashes as a leading

      cause of death by age and sex of the person. The data used in this report are

      based upon mortality data for the United States for the calendar year 1992 from

      the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Center for Health

      Statistics (NCHS). NCHS compiles information from a census of death

      certificate records furnished to NCHS by the fifty States, the District of

      Columbia, and the five boroughs of New York City. The NCHS data are used in

      this report to illustrate how motor vehicle crash deaths rank as a leading

      cause of death for all ages, for males and females separately, and for various

      age/sex categories. The number of deaths from motor vehicle traffic crashes

      obtained from NCHS are approximately 2% greater than that reported in FARS due

      to reporting differences. For persons ages 5-27, motor vehicle traffic crashes

      were the leading cause of death, representing 26% of all deaths in this age

      group and 36% of all motor vehicle traffic deaths that occurred in 1992. Among

      males, motor vehicle traffic deaths were the leading cause of death for ages

      6-9, 11-18, and 20-22. For females, motor vehicle "traffic deaths were the

      leading cause of death for ages 5-28, representing 27% of all deaths for females

      in this age group and 34% of all female deaths in 1992. Motor vehicle traffic

      crashes in 1992 ranked 8th as a cause of death in the U. S., accounting for

      39,985 deaths (1 .8% of all deaths). 64p.
