Risk factors and geographical heterogeneity in unintentional home injuries incidence rate: new evidence based on Multiscopo survey in Italy

Home injuries together, with road traffic accidents, are estimated to be the third cause of death in Italy (Arokiasamy and Krishnan 1994). However, as in most other countries, in Italy there is a lack of information on home injuries and on how differences in geographical patterns may influence the scope and magnitude of this phenomenon. By analysing a multipurpose large survey (Multiscopo) carried out annually, geographical heterogeneity in home injuries incidence rate can be investigated. The aim of this study is the assessment of possible differences in geographical patterns among the Italian regions making use of a re-analysis of Multiscopo home injury data. The study results show that Italian regions differ greatly in the number of home injuries. The geographical heterogeneity may be due to the unemployment rate and the incidence of poverty that is greater in the Southern and Insular regions than in other zones. Other socio-economic variables such as alcohol consumption can increase the risk of injury in the home. To prevent them it could be useful to organize campaigns aimed at increasing the awareness among people about this problem.     

Challenges to elderly safety in Safe Community movements in Japan

In Japan, with the longest life expectancy in the world over the last two decades, a great emphasis has been placed on the safety of the elderly, which has in turn influenced their well-being. Meantime, the concept of Safe Community (SC) has drawn more attention as one of the potential measures to sustain and improve the health conditions of the elderly. In hope of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of current efforts for elderly safety, the SC model is expected to provide features with which communities can make the better use of current limited resources. This article examines how the SC model makes a difference in these efforts by utilising existing programmes and how elderly safety can be promoted at the community level. Six communities working safety promotion based on the SC model were selected for the study. Although there are limitations to the information due to the insufficient experience in SC in Japan, it was found that two features make SC significant in promoting safety: (1) systematic evidence-based plan-do-check-action processes and (2) a framework of cross-sectoral collaboration. However, to examine and identify the effectiveness of SC on elderly health, further observation is required to develop strategies while accumulating longitudinal data.
