CDifficulty 2/5

According to the WHO road traffic injuries fact sheet updated in July 2026, for which age group are these injuries the leading cause of death worldwide?

Correct answer

Children and young people aged 5–29.

Children and young people aged 5–29, according to the cited WHO fact sheet. This is a global finding; it does not mean all young people have identical risk or that children drive. Risk also depends on exposure as a pedestrian, passenger or driver, speed, alcohol and road-user protection and safety. Do not extend that ranking to every age group or location.
