For children, these crashes remain the leading cause of death and disability. Expanding the limited research on pediatric injury and BMI‑for‑age may help identify needed improvements in vehicle safety systems and injury‑prevention strategies, ultimately reducing childhood injury and mortality related to motor vehicle crashes. 000002821 540__ $$fCC BY 000002821 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002821 650__ $$aAbbreviated Injury Scale$$028807 000002821 650__ $$aAutomobiles$$015245 000002821 650__ $$aBody Mass Index$$028801 000002821 650__ $$aObesity$$023118 000002821 650__ $$aAccidents$$011051 000002821 650__ $$aPediatric Obesity$$040261 000002821 650__ $$aAccidents, Traffic$$011055 000002821 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002821 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000002821 7001_ $$aGonzalez-Maddux, Catherine$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002821 8564_ $$90fa8ef60-772a-471e-976d-35fd9b6a020c$$s2576671$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2821/files/3589_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2ca6a9c3ceffa75570318c5f42d3d9603$$31 000002821 905__ $$a/rest/prod/rn/30/11/60/rn3011606 000002821 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2821$$pstudent-work 000002821 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000002821 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
