Question 7656

In Spain, traffic accidents are the leading cause of...

  1. injuries in people over 65 years old.
  2. child mortality.
  3. youth mortality.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: youth mortality.

Young people are unlikely to die from illness, so traffic crashes account for a large share of their deaths. In Spain in 2024, they caused 302 of the 1,901 deaths among people ages 15 to 29, and WHO identifies them as the leading cause of death in that age group worldwide.
