The report includes many estimates of the fatality- or injury-risk increase for aging a year, or the risk for a female relative to a male of the same age, given similar physical insults: by vehicle type, model year, seat position, types of occupant protection available, belt use, impact location, body region of the injury, or severity (AIS) of the injury. In addition, for the major occupant protection technologies - seat belts, air bags, and energy-absorbing materials - analysis methods of past NHTSA evaluations will show if fatality-reducing effectiveness is significantly different for younger and older occupants or for men and women. Finally, the report identifies specific injuries and injury sources (vehicle components contacted) that are prevalent among older or female occupants.
