abstract="BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the trends in mortality from road traffic accidents (RTA) in Fars Province, southern Iran. <br><br>METHODS: The Age and sex-standardized mortality rate attributed to RTA from 2004 to 2010 in Fars Province was calculated using world standard population. We also used linear regression and chi-squared tests. <br><br>RESULTS: Over the period of study (7 years), 12954 people died in RTA. The age- and sex-standardized mortality rate was 27 per 100,000. While the rate of death due to RTA had an incremental rate in age group 18-30 years and among women, it had a decreasing trend in age groups 35-45, under-18 and among men. <br><br>CONCLUSION: An increase in mortality rate of RTA among people aged 18-30 yr and women need to be addressed by health policy makers and other involved sections.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
