  abstract = {{M}ortality due to external causes was measured over the period 1985-2004 in three rural areas of {S}enegal-{B}andafassi, {N}iakhar and {M}lomp - whose populations have been under continuous demographic surveillance for many years. {T}he standardized annual rate of deaths due to external causes is 31 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants in {N}iakhar, 56 in {B}andafassi and 102 in {M}lomp. {T}he causes of injury-related deaths generally reflect the rural living environment, with relatively few deaths due to road accidents (1.9 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants in {N}iakhar, 3.0 in {B}andafassi and 2.0 in {M}lomp), but many deaths due to falls (8.6 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants in {N}iakhar, 15.1 in {B}andafassi and 23.3 in {M}lomp). {F}or certain causes, mortality varies considerably. {S}nake bites, for example, cause 0.1 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants in {N}iakhar, 13.4 in {B}andafassi and 3.0 in {M}lomp. {T}he differences between sites are linked in this case to the relative concentrations of wildlife, in turn linked to differences in the local environment and in population densities (144 inhabitants per sq.km in {N}iakhar versus 19 in {B}andafassi and 114 in {M}lomp). {A}lthough the study areas are still largely unaffected by causes of death associated with development, such as traffic accidents, mortality due to external causes is high.},
