Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify the unique features of Japanese unintentional injury and to consider strategies for injury prevention.
Method
Mortality data for unintentional injuries available from Vital Statistics of Japan and the patient survey in 2008 was used, and the rate of hospitalizations and practice visits for unintentional injury was calculated.
Results
In 2008, the mortality rate for unintentional injury was 13.2, the rate for hospitalizations was 441, and the rate for practice visits was 26,838 per 100,000 populations under 1 year old. 
Among 1-4 years, 3.8 and 423 and 42850. 
Among 5-14 years, 2.1 and 452 and 41907.
Among 15-24 years, 8.2 and 834 and 23405.
Among 25-34 years, 7.0 and 549 and 15578.
Among 35-44 years, 8.4 and 530 and 14255.
Among 45-54 years, 13.2 and 624 and 14229.
Among 55-64 years, 22.4 and 861 and 14666.
Among 65-74 years, 44.8 and 1383 and 15651.
Over 75 years, 159.3 and 3872 and 16074.
Conclusions
Though the rate of mortality and hospitalizations among 1-4 and 5-14 year olds groups was lower than the other age groups, the rate of practice visits was higher than the other age groups. 
Also, it was necessary to pay attention to the mortality rate for among 65 -74 year olds and over 75 year olds, the hospitalization rates for over 64 year olds.
