Dog-related injuries requiring medical attention in Skaraborg district, Sweden
<b>The study showed that men and younger age groups were more likely to be injured via dog bites, while older women were more likely to be injured by tripping or falling over dogs. These findings imply that separate injury prevention strategies are required to address the different factors associated with both injury types.</b>
