Drivers obesity and road crash risks in the United States by Junaid Ahmad Bhatti (366799)

“…Compared to non-obese controls, obese drivers had significantly higher risks for fatality (1.10≤aOR≤1.47), seat-belt non-use (1.00≤aOR≤1.21), need for extrication (1.01≤aOR≤1.23), and ambulance transport time ≥30min (1.01≤aOR≤1.28). Compared to non-obese controls, obese drivers were less likely to drink-drive (0.41≤aOR≤0.72) and speed ≥65mph (0.78≤aOR≤0.93).. …”
