OBJECTIVE To analyze death and disease burden of injury in Guangxi in 2014-2015 and to provide scientific basis for making policy strategies on injury death prevention.
METHODS Data of injury deaths were analyzed with mortality, standardized mortality and years of potential life lost(PYLL).
RESULTS The mortality of injury was 43.69 per 100 000, and standardized mortality was 44.56 per 100 000. Injury mortality of male was higher than that of female (2.33 times). Traffic accidents, accidental falls,other unintentional injuries, drowning,suicide and sequelae were the top five causes of injury deaths. The leading cause of injury deaths for 0-14 years age group was drowning, for 15-64 years age group was traffic accidents and for age group 65 years and above was accidental falls. Traffic accident, drowning, other unintentional injuries, accidental falls and suicide and sequelae were the top five causes of YPLL.YPLL caused by injury deaths was 29.60 years in average,and in male was higher than in female,in rural was higher than in urban．But after an average person, drowning became the biggest threat to Guangxi residents' early death.
CONCLUSIONS Injury is the important disease burden leading to premature death in Guangxi. It is necessary to take effective measures and make strategies to prevent and control injury according to different gender,urban and rural areas, and age. © 2019 China Tropical. All rights reserved.
