Women 1
are more likely 2
to sustain injuries 4
in an auto accident 4
because safety features 1
are designed 2
more with men in mind 4
a study 1
said 2
in Thursday.
Combining trought a decade of data 4
about US motor vehicle accident, 4
three researchers 1
found 2
the odds of serious injury 3
for female drivers wearing seat belts 1
were 47percent higher 2
than those of men 4
in a comparable mishap. 4
Previous studies 1
have focused 2
on differences 4
in the way men and women drive, 4
but the researchers 1
- writing in the American Journal of Public Health - 6
said 2
another explanation 3
could be the design of safety features. 3
The positioning of head restraints, 1
for instance, 1
fails 2
to take into account 3
how women's necks are different 3
in size and strength. 4
Women 1
also face 2
a higher risk of injuries 3
to the lower extremities 4
because of their shorter stature 4
added Dipan Bose and Jeff Crandall 6
of the University of Virginia 3
and Maria Segui-Gomez 1
of Navarra University 3
in Spain. 4
To address such sex-specific disparity, 4
"health policies and vehicle regulations 1
must focus 2
on effective safety designs 4
specifically tailor toward the female population 4
for equity in injury reduction," 4
the researchers 1
said. 2
In another article in same journal, 4
researchers 1
said 2
that while teenagers drive better 4
the older they get, 4
their likelihood for risky driving 3
- like fast starts, hard stops and sharp turns- 6
remains unchanged. 3
