Abstract Background: In Crete the problem of traffic accidents is particularly important. Each day happens at least one, which leads to the death or to the serious wound of at least one individual. Objectives: the recording of the incidence rate of the road traffic accidents with at least one wounded in Crete and the demographic characteristics (age, sex, nationality, profession) of the persons involved in those, so that useful conclusions will be carried out in order to prevent this so important problem of public health. Methods: information of road traffic accidents with at least one lightly wound individual, at year 2008, from the autopsies of the incidents, has been collected. Results: At the analysis were examined not only the characteristics of the traffic incidents (201), but also the characteristics of the individuals involved in those (393). From the 55 traffic accidents were lethal and led to the death of 64 individuals. Because of the underwriting of the data regarding to the profession of the involved individuals was not achieved correlation of road accidents with social, economic and educational status of the wounded. Statistically important correlations however are observed with regard to the gravity of wound with the sex and the nationality of the guilty driver, the prefecture, the locality and the season where the accident was carried out. The crude mortality rate of road traffic accidents in Crete (2008), was found 10.7 per 100,000 residents. The age and sex specific mortality rate of traffic accidents in Crete, (in 2008) reaches the top at the age of 15-24 (20.43 per 100,000 residents) in men and at the age group of 25-39, (3.59 per 100,000 residents) in women. The age and sex specific morbidity rate due to traffic accidents, reaches the top in men at the age group of 15-24 (43.13 per 100,000 residents) and in women at the same age group (18.16 per 100,000 residents). 5 Δημόσια Υγεία & Διοίκηση Υπηρεσιών Υγείας Τμήμα Ιατρικής – Πανεπιστήμιο Κρήτης Conclusions: it appearred that in small ages the danger of death and wound from road traffic accident is increased. The danger is also increased when the accident happens in regional roads instead of the roads inside the cities and the Northern National Road of Crete. Studies should follow, focused at the age groups and in the regions where the problem is more intense so that conclusions suitable to support programs of prevention and intervention will be carried out.
