[Analysis on epidemiological feature of injuries in civic students of Jiangmen].
OBJECTIVE
In order to set up intervention measures in preventing injuries.


METHODS
An analysis on the epidemiological feature of injuries in 9 civic middle and primary schools with 3,988 students involved was carried out in July 1998.


RESULTS
The results showed that the total rate of 12 kinds of injuries was 50.55%. Among which, 5 kinds of injuries took the first 5 places: injuries from falls (32.15%), knife-cutting or sharp weapon hurt (21.99%) bumps (17.05%) traffic accidents (12.51%) burns and scalds (11.43%).


CONCLUSIONS
The rate of injury was related closely with age parent's culture background and the number of children in families, but was not significantly related to sex, parent's occupation and the condition of living with relatives. Strengthening supervision, safety health education and increase awareness on self-protection were the most important points. Some intervention measures were being put into practice.
