Abstract: Background: Accidents, as the third important cause of mortality, are among main challenges of communities due their costs and irreversible damages. This study aimed to investigate the age distribution of people referred to the hospitals affiliated by Iran’s ministry of health because of accidents.

The collected data was analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics in SPSS11 software. Results: The commonest age group involved in accidents during the year 1395 (2016) was middle-aged (37%) followed by youth (25%). The commonest accidents in children were: fall (23%), traffic accidents (19%), and burn (13%). In adolescents, the commonest accidents were: traffic accidents (32%), fall (16%), and violence and poisoning (5%). The commonest accidents in youth were: traffic accidents (35%), violence (9%), and poisoning (6%).

摘要：背景：事故作为死亡的第三大原因，由于其成本和不可逆转的损害，是社区面临的主要挑战之一。这项研究旨在调查因事故转诊到伊朗卫生部附属医院的人的年龄分布。方法：在一项横断面研究中，使用美国疾病控制与预防中心的检查表，从医院记录、访谈和观察中收集了一年内转诊至伊朗卫生部附属医院的受伤人员的相关数据。采用SPSS11软件对收集到的数据进行描述性和分析性统计分析。结果：1395年（2016年）发生事故的最常见年龄组是中年人（37%），其次是青年人（25%）。儿童最常见的事故是：跌倒（23%）、交通事故（19%）和烧伤（13%）。在青少年中，最常见的事故是：交通事故（32%）、跌倒（16%）、暴力和中毒（5%）。青少年最常见的事故是：交通事故（35%）、暴力（9%）和中毒（6%）。在中年群体中，最常见的事故是：交通事故（30%）、跌倒（12%）、暴力和中毒（7%）。老年人最常见的事故是：跌倒和交通事故（25%）、烧伤（4%）、暴力和中毒（3%）。结论：制定预防事故和伤害的计划和政策是健康的优先事项，也是提高社区安全的关键工具。此外，向社区所有年龄组宣传预防行动也是必要的。关键词：道路交通伤害、创伤、医院
