Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Accident Prevention

Background:

  • Selfie-related deaths represent a significant and emerging global public health issue.
  • Previous studies have not comprehensively assessed the global epidemiology of these incidents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the global epidemiology of selfie-related deaths.
  • To identify patterns, causes, and demographic factors associated with selfie fatalities.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive search of news reports was conducted using keywords related to selfie deaths and accidents.
  • Data from October 2011 to November 2017 were analyzed to identify incidents and fatalities.

Main Results:

  • 259 deaths in 137 incidents were recorded globally between October 2011 and November 2017.
  • The average age of victims was 22.94 years, with males accounting for 72.5% of deaths.
  • Top causes included drowning, transport accidents, and falls, with risky behaviors being a major factor, especially in males.

Conclusions:

  • Establishing 'no selfie zones' in high-risk tourist areas is recommended.
  • Targeted interventions focusing on reducing risky behaviors are crucial for prevention.
  • Public awareness campaigns may help mitigate selfie-related mortality.
