Citizens (21% of total population) include:  417,917 males and 407,578 females Non-citizens (79% of total population) include:  2,388,224 males and 3,280,932 females Changes in the UAE: increasing risk of unintentional injury death Rapid Growth Oil Production Expansion in Urban areas Major improvement in road systems Construction operations and related labor force demands has increase to be 19% of workforce by 2000.

 In 2005 the World Health Organization reported Accidents to be a major health problem in the United Arab Emirates  In this report the main cause of accidental death was cited as road accidents representing 70.5% of the total accidental deaths.  Of those who died males represented 88.5% of all road traffic accident deaths

 Objectives: ◦ Determine the unintentional death rate by cause for males ages by within selected medical districts living in the UAE ◦ For the Six Medical Districts* managed by the UAE Ministry of Health  Determine the death rate for males ages caused by unintentional injury & analyzed by citizen status for the years  Determine the death rate for males caused by unintentional injuries & analyzed by citizen status for each season of the year. ◦ *Rasal-Khaimah, Ajman, Fujarah, Um m al Quiwan, Sharja, Dubai

Report Deaths by Gender & Citizen Status Male Citizen s Male Non- Citizens Total Males Female Citizens Female Non- Citizens Total Females Frequency2,6027,80010,4271,7601,9003,673 % within Category % Total Study Population 24.95%74.81% 73.9% 48%51.73% 26.0%

 -by citizen status for males ages reported by six UAE Medical Districts  Chi-square –death rates differ significantly by citizen status  Adjusted Residuals  Accidents & Adverse Effects  Citizens significantly < observed than expected  Non-Citizens Significantly >observed than expected**  Motor Vehicle & Traffic Accidents  Citizens significantly > observed than expected** ◦ Non-Citizens Significantly < observed than expected

 Accidental Poisoning ◦ Citizens significantly > observed than expected**  Non-Citizens Significantly < observed than expected  Accidental Falls ◦ Citizens significantly < observed than expected  Non-Citizens Significantly > observed than expected**  Other causes ◦ Citizens significantly < observed than expected  Non-Citizens Significantly > observed than expected**  **=more observed than expected

 When unintentional injury fatalities reported by the all six UAE Medical Districts under study were analyzed by rate a Chi-Square test found the rate death due to unintentional injury to differ significantly between Citizens and Non-citizens.  For all unintentional injury death categories except Motor Vehicle & Traffic Accidents Non- citizens were found to have significantly higher rate of observed deaths than Citizens.  Citizens were found to have a significantly higher rate of observed deaths than Non- citizens for Motor Vehicle & Traffic Accidents
