Obesity linked to decreased seatbelt use
Date:1/2/2008

dt said. We now know that increased risk of injury or death due to a car accident can be added to the list of risk associated with obesity.

The authors suggest that a reason why people with a high BMI do not use seatbelts is because doing so is uncomfortable.

Efforts should be made to raise public awareness about seatbelt extender availability, and manufacturers not offering seatbelt extenders should be encouraged, or required, to make them available, they wrote. Engineering solutions such as seatbelts with wider, more cushioned bands and greater adjustability may also be helpful by making seatbelts more comfortable for overweight and obese persons.

Seatbelt usage reduces automobile crash-related deaths and injuries by at least 50 percent.
