title: [Injuries during adolescence].
abstract: The incidence of injuries reaches the highest level in the adolescent age-group, as proved also in our survey of accidents in a period of one year in County Vas, Hungary. The incidence is extremely high in boys: 241 per 1000 heads of this age-group while no increase can be observed in girls due to an earlier puberty. The risk-rate of boys appears high at every type of injuries even at those that were caused intended or in an intoxicated state. As to the rest of indices the age-group of adolescents shows a transition between the childhood and the adult age, meanwhile the injuries of the adolescents stay nearer to those of the young adults.
