[Accidents of the elderly].

The topic of accidents in elderly population has been studied on 2055 injured older than 65 years. The severity of injuries indicates the importance of accidents in this age-group. The proportion of fractures in the elderly population is twice of the average-in females over 75 years of age they take the half of the total number of injuries. While the incidence rate of males in the whole material with all of the age groups is twice of that of females, in elderly population it turns into equal. The rate of home-accidents grows with ageing. The elderly people specially the males suffer a high number of road traffic accidents as pedestrians or riding their bicycles. The severity of injuries and the broken health status in elderly people is a major problem both for the health care and the whole society.

[Injuries during adolescence].

The incidence of injuries reaches the highest level in the adolescent age-group, as proved also in our survey of accidents in a period of one year in County Vas, Hungary. The incidence is extremely high in boys: 241 per 1000 heads of this age-group while no increase can be observed in girls due to an earlier puberty. The risk-rate of boys appears high at every type of injuries even at those that were caused intended or in an intoxicated state. As to the rest of indices the age-group of adolescents shows a transition between the childhood and the adult age, meanwhile the injuries of the adolescents stay nearer to those of the young adults.

[Childhood accidents].

A survey of accidents in a period of one year in County Vas, Hungary was performed. The injury of children in the age-group of 0-14 was found in case 5841 i.e. in 22.5% of the total number of the injured. The incidence was 101/1000 head of puerile population. The rate of accidents appeared to be low in early childhood while it showed a significant increase in the school age. The home accidents accounted for the most of the accidents especially in the early childhood. Over the age of 7 the school and sport/playground accidents exceeded. The roads were involved as a high risk factor for each of the age groups. The high (21.5%) rate of fractures indicates severity of the injuries although the number of the most severe injuries remained low. The accident conditions of County Vas are at an advantage compared with international data meanwhile the high rate of accidents in the school age group calls for prevention and educational work.
