[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS D8nlR0x8. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The authors evaluated the little-examined association between intelligence (IQ) and injury mortality and, for the first known time, explored the extent to which IQ might explain established socioeconomic inequalities in injury mortality. A nationwide cohort of 1,116,442 Swedish men who underwent IQ testing at about 18 years of age was followed for mortality experience for an average of 22.6 years. In age-adjusted analyses in which IQ scores were classified into 4 groups, relative to the highest scoring category, the hazard ratio in the lowest was elevated for all injury types : poisonings (hazard ratio (HR)=5.82,95% confidence interval (Cl) : 4.25,7.97), fire (HR=4.39,95% Cl : 2.51,7.77), falls (HR=3.17,95% Cl : 2.19,4.59), drowning (HR=3.16,95% Cl : 1.85,5.39), and road injury (HR=2.17,95% Cl : 1.91,2.47). Dose-response effects across the full IQ range were evident (P-trend
