Non-fatal unintentional injuries affect Mexican men and young people disproportionately. Falls and traffic injuries are leading causes, straining public health services and causing disability.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Injury Prevention

Context:

  • Non-fatal unintentional injuries (NUI) represent a significant public health burden in Mexico.
  • Understanding the prevalence and characteristics of NUIs is crucial for developing targeted prevention strategies.

Purpose:

  • To estimate the prevalence of non-fatal unintentional injuries (NUIs) and their consequences in the Mexican population.
  • To analyze NUI prevalence by age group, sex, region, residence stratum, and well-being index.

Summary:

  • A cross-sectional study using the 2022 National Health and Nutrition Survey Continua (Ensanut Continua 2022) estimated NUI prevalence at 5.74%.
  • 30.5% of cases reported permanent health consequences, and 62% required public healthcare services.
  • Falls (57.6%) were the most frequent cause, occurring primarily in public spaces (39.5%) and homes (29%).

Impact:

  • The findings highlight significant regional and demographic disparities in NUI prevalence, with higher rates in the Península, Pacífico-Sur, and Pacífico-Centro regions, among males, and in the 10-19 age group.
  • NUIs, particularly falls and traffic injuries, place a substantial demand on healthcare services and contribute to disability.
  • This data can inform public health policies and interventions aimed at reducing the burden of unintentional injuries in Mexico.
