Māori children aged 0–14 years had an unintentional injury mortality rate 3.5 times that of non-Māori children in the same age group in 2010–12 (RR 3.53, CI 2.66–4.70). Māori children had a significantly higher unintentional injury hospitalisation rate than that of non-Māori children in 2012–14 (RR 1.12, CI 1.10–1.15).
In the equivalent time periods, Māori adults aged 15–64 years had an unintentional injury mortality rate more than 1.5 times that for non-Māori adults in the same age group (RR 1.73, CI 1.55–1.94), and the unintentional injury hospitalisation rate for Māori was about 30% higher than that of non-Māori adults (RR 1.32, CI 1.30–1.34).
Māori adults aged 65 years or over had a similar unintentional injury mortality rate and hospitalisation rate as that of non-Māori (RR 1.24, CI 0.99–1.55 for mortality; RR 0.97, CI 0.92–1.02 for hospitalisation). However, Māori females in this age group had significantly lower unintentional injury hospitalisation rates than non-Māori females (RR 0.92, CI 0.86–0.98).

Table 42 shows that the 3 most common causes of unintentional injury mortality differed by age group, gender and ethnicity in 2010–12. Motor vehicle traffic was a common cause of unintentional injury causing death for all groups. For older people aged 65 years and over, falls were the most common cause of death by unintentional injury.
