We also used linear regression and chi-squared tests.Over the period of study (7 years), 12954 people died in RTA. The age- and sex-standardized mortality rate was 27 per 100,000. While the rate of death due to RTA had an incremental rate in age group 18-30 years and among women, it had a decreasing trend in age groups 35-45, under18 and among men.An increase in mortality rate of RTA among people aged 18-30 yr and women need to be addressed by health policy makers and other involved sections. https://ijph.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijph/article/view/3926 https://ijph.tums.ac.ir/index.php/ijph/article/download/3926/3587
