Abstract

Sex differences in mountain bike accidents in Austria from 2006 to 2018: a retrospective analysis. High Alt Med Biol. 25:89-93, 2024. Introduction: Mountain biking is becoming increasingly popular, and mountain bike (MTB) accidents are on the rise. The aim of this study was to assess sex differences in mountain biking accidents in the Austrian Alps. Methods: This retrospective study includes all MTB accidents in Austria from 2006 to 2018. Data were collected by Alpine Police officers and recorded in a national digital registry. Results: The accidents involved 5,095 mountain bikers (81% men and 19% women). The number of MTB accidents rose markedly from 208 in 2006 to 725 in 2018. Men wore a helmet more often than did women (95% vs. 92%; p = 0.001). The most common injury category was "wound/bleeding" for both sexes (men 40% and women 41%). Women were more frequently transported by helicopter or terrestrially (p > 0.001). Conclusion: In the Austrian Alps, the number of MTB accidents more than tripled between 2006 and 2018. Women were involved in only one fifth of all accidents. Sex differences in MTB accidents include (1) women wearing helmets less often, (2) women being less frequently injured, (3) women suffering fewer serious injuries, and (4) women being more frequently transported by helicopter or terrestrially, while men more often did not require transportation.

2006 年至 2018 年奥地利山地自行车事故的性别差异：回顾性分析

Woyke, Simon, Anja Hütter, Christopher Rugg, Willi Tröger, Bernd Wallner, Mathias Ströhle, and Peter Paal.2006年至2018年奥地利山地自行车事故的性别差异：回顾性分析。High Alt Med Biol 00:000-000, 2023.导言：山地自行车越来越受欢迎，山地自行车（MTB）事故也呈上升趋势。本研究旨在评估奥地利阿尔卑斯山山地自行车事故的性别差异。研究方法这项回顾性研究包括 2006 年至 2018 年奥地利发生的所有山地自行车事故。数据由阿尔卑斯警官收集，并记录在国家数字登记册中。研究结果事故涉及 5095 名山地车骑行者（81% 为男性，19% 为女性）。山地车事故数量从 2006 年的 208 起明显上升至 2018 年的 725 起。男性比女性更经常佩戴头盔（95% 对 92%；P = 0.001）。男女最常见的受伤类别都是 "伤口/出血"（男性占 40%，女性占 41%）。女性更常被直升机或地面运送（P > 0.001）。结论在奥地利阿尔卑斯山，2006 年至 2018 年间山地车事故数量增加了两倍多。女性仅占所有事故的五分之一。山地车事故中的性别差异包括：（1）女性戴头盔的频率较低；（2）女性受伤的频率较低；（3）女性受重伤的频率较低；（4）女性更多地被直升机或地面运输，而男性更多不需要运输。

期刊介绍： High Altitude Medicine & Biology is the only peer-reviewed journal covering the medical and biological issues that impact human life at high altitudes. The Journal delivers critical findings on the impact of high altitude on lung and heart disease, appetite and weight loss, pulmonary and cerebral edema, hypertension, dehydration, infertility, and other diseases. It covers the full spectrum of high altitude life sciences from pathology to human and animal ecology.
