Background The effects of age, body mass index (BMI) and gender on motor vehicle crash
(MVC) injuries are not well understood and current prevention efforts do not effectively …

Abstract Data from the National Automotive Sampling System-Crashworthiness Data System
(NASS-CDS) and the Crash Injury Research Engineering Network (CIREN) cases were …

OBJECTIVE: Age is often used as a predictor of injury and mortality in motor vehicle crashes
(MVCs), however, the age that defines an “older” occupant in terms of injury-risk remains …

Objective: Determine the effects of BMI on the risk of serious‐to‐fatal injury (Abbreviated
Injury Scale≥ 3 or AIS 3+) to different body regions for adults in frontal, nearside, farside …

Objective: As vehicle safety technologies and evaluation procedures advance, it is pertinent
to periodically evaluate injury trends to identify continuing and emerging priorities for …

Objective: Analyses of crash data have shown that older, obese, and/or female occupants
have a higher risk of injury in frontal crashes compared to the rest of the population. The …

With 2003 Fatality Analysis Reporting System data, we examined relationships among
predictors of motor vehicle injury/fatality outcomes for younger (35–54 years) and older (65 …

Objective Use volunteer data and parametric finite element (FE) human body models to
investigate how restraint systems can be designed to adapt to a diverse population and pre …

As the population ages, the need to protect the elderly during motor vehicle crashes
becomes increasingly critical. This study focuses on causation of elderly rib and sternum …

Objective: To quantify the effect of model year (MY) on the occurrence of severe injuries and
death after involvement in motor vehicle crashes. Methods: Cases involving adult front seat …
