Abstract

The road traumatism and its aftermath are global and increasing problem. In 2014 Russia ranked first position in relation to number of deaths because of road accidents per one million of population among countries being members of the UN European economic commission. The purpose of study is to establish gender age characteristics and dynamics of burden of road traffic mortality in Russia. The non-clinical observation study was carried out covering years of life lost as a result of premature mortality due to road traffic accidents in Russia and standard of life expectancy on one-year age groups for males and females during 2000-2012. In 2012, the age interval of 20-34 years covered 50% of total number of years of life lost because of road traffic accidents in males and 37% in females. During the analyzed period, decreasing of number of years of life lost per thousand males/females occurred in all age groups. The dramatic decreasing of rate of increase of losses during 2007-2009 ended in 2010 and their increasing began factually in all age groups. In case of males aged 15-19 years it was thus much significant that number of years of life lost per thousand of males in 2012 (29.8 years per thousand of males) factually returned to level of 2000 (30.8 years per thousand of males).
