✦ Synopsis

The effect of economic development on motor vehicle-related mortality was assessed using per capital GNP from 46 countries, Gini coefficients from 34 countries and mortality statistics reported to WHO. The data suggest that these commonly used indicators of economic development do not reliably predict a given country's current experience with motor vehicle-related mortality. Implications for health planners and traffic safety workers are discussed.

Motor vehicles have emerged as the leading cause of injury death in most developing countries. Motor vehicle-related mortality rates in these countries, both on a population and per-vehicle basis, frequently exceed those of the industrialized nations of North America and Europe. This phenomenon is the rule among oil producing nations, and is reported from the Arab Gulf States
