Dr. Antonio Trujillo Studies Link between Economic Growth and Injuries among the Elderly

The Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit congratulates Dr. Antonio Trujillo, a colleague associated with the unit, on the release of his latest research into the link between economic growth and injuries among the elderly.

His report, entitled “Association between Economic Growth and Injury Mortality among Seniors in Colombia,” states that there may be enough evidence currently to suggest that economic growth alone cannot reduce injury deaths among older people. Health policies should also be implemented to help reduce and prevent these injuries.
