Road traffic injury among elderly people and its determinant factors: a cross‐sectional study
The study highlights traffic-related injuries among the elderly, mostly affecting the knee and lower leg regions, especially during the summer season. The efforts should include enhancing safety measures for car passengers and pedestrians, particularly during the high-risk summer months. Also, it emphasizes the need for public transportation to improve safety for older people due to lower accident rates and senior-friendly features.
