description
Objective: To evaluate the death prevalence due to bicycle accidents in the northeast region of Brazil between 2001 and 2010. Methodology: This study was conducted with a descriptive quantitative and analytical approach through secondary data. The sample consisted of all Death Certificates (DC) registered over the Mortality Information System (MIS) of the Unified Health System Data Base that reported bicycle accidents between 2001 and 2010. Descriptive measures were determined to all variables. The sociodemographic variables were intersected with the basic cause of death to search a statistical correlation. Results: Over the considered period of time, 2763 Death Certificates were brought up, where the deaths that occurred over the northeast region of Brazil were due to bicycle accidents, being evidenced a higher frequency to men, between 25-39 and 40-59 years old, with brown skin color, single and with 1-3 scholarity years. The victims mean age was 38,49 (DP = 18,322). Conclusion: The increase in the numbers of fatal bicycle accidents show that a restructuration of the traffic infrastructure is needed, an increase on the cycling paths offer and effective legal changes to the reduction of this kind of accident.
