摘要：
Norwegian injury register data were analyzed to examine unintentional home injuries among persons aged 25 to 64 years residing in Stavanger, Norway, during 1992. A total of 782 persons received medical treatment for injury during 1992 (15.4 per 1000 population). The incidence was similar for males and females (15.8 and 14.9 per 1000 population); however, the exposure-specific injury rate was significantly higher for males (5.0 vs 3.1 per 1 million person-hours). This difference was entirely due to the much higher injury rate among males aged 25 to 44 years. The estimated first-year cost (direct and indirect) per injury was $2700. Home injuries among adults appear to be an overlooked public health problem that warrants increased attention.
