Abstract

Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide after road traffic injury deaths, claiming approximately 450,000 lives every year. Overall male drowning rates in the Newly Independent States and Rus- sian Federation are dramatically higher than the rates in Western European countries; the highest male drowning rate in WHO Euro region, drowning rate in Belarus, is 50 times higher than the lowest, the drowning rate in the United Kingdom. 1-4 age group male drowning rate in Turkmenistan is alarmingly high. More research is needed to determine the risk fac- tors of child and adult drowning in each of the Newly Independent States and Russian Federation.
新独立国家和俄罗斯联邦的溺水率:呼吁进行研究和采取行动
溺水是全世界仅次于道路交通伤害死亡的第二大非故意伤害死亡原因,每年夺去约45万人的生命。新独立国家和俄罗斯联邦的总体男性溺水率显著高于西欧国家;世卫组织欧洲区域男性溺水率最高的国家白俄罗斯的溺水率比最低的国家英国的溺水率高50倍。土库曼斯坦1-4岁年龄组男性溺水率高得惊人。需要更多的研究来确定每个新独立国家和俄罗斯联邦儿童和成人溺水的危险因素。
