Stable and dynamic differences in injury mortality between the Nordic countries. What do they say about inherent national characteristics with regard to risk?

Abstract:

:The aim of this study was to analyse long-term trends and patterns in injury mortality between the Nordic countries and to distinguish differences that are relatively temporary from those that are more durable. Both total injury mortality and special subcategories were examined. Some stable similarities and differences were found. Two kinds of injuries are distinguished: those that largely have a social genesis and those to which environmental causality applies. The general pattern is that there has been an increase in injuries with a social genesis and a decrease in those with an environment-related genesis. Finland has high rates of both types of injuries. Denmark has high rates of injuries with a social genesis, but low rates of those with an environmental genesis. By contrast, Norway has high rates of injuries with an environmental genesis and low rates of those with a social genesis. Sweden has low or medium rates of both types of injuries.
