Abstract

La morbidité et la mortalité en relation avec des accidents de la circulation sont à Bangkok Metropolis (Thailande) trés élevés, de tendance ascendante, et représentent en conséquence un gros problème pour la santé publique en ce pays. L'étude par cas-témoins non-accouplés avec 350 cas et 350 patients-témoins a déterminé les facteurs de risque suivants; sous l'aspect démographique d'abord: l'âge, l'état civile, le sexe, la profession; puis les expositions inhérentes à la conduite d'un véhicule ainsi que le type de véhicule, le temps journalier passé derrière le volant; enfin les facteurs de risque dans le domaine du comportement une heure avant l'utilisation du véhicule comme la consommation de boisson alcooliques ou la consommation copieuse de nourriture. Le risque relatif d'accident de circulation n'était pas significativement augmenté pour les tranquillisants ou les médicaments antiallergiques. Les résultats d l'étude sont en accord avec les données actuelles de la recherche sur les accidents et indiquent quels sont les groupes particuliers auxquels devraient s'adresser les programmes de prévention des accidents.
