Integral indicators of demographic losses from deaths and injuries due to road accidents in Russia
Abstract
The article analyzes the dynamics and structure of deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents in Russia during 2006 to 2011. The analysis is based on the use of integrated indicators of years of life lost. It is shown that the maximum number of years of life lost due to excess mortality and disability (or gained from their elimination) is observed for men in the age group from 40 to 65 years, and for women between 55 and 75 years. New metrics of disability weights are developed.
