Are traffic accidents considered one of the leading causes of mortality or injuries?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 'Mortality and injuries'. Traffic accidents are a first-order public health problem worldwide. They not only cause a high number of deaths (mortality) but are also one of the main causes of serious injuries and permanent disabilities (morbidity). Saying 'only mortality' or 'only injuries' is incorrect because it understates the real impact: road accidents affect society drastically in both ways, causing both loss of life and physical and psychological after-effects.
