Previous studies indicate that compared with lean adults, obese persons are more likely to improperly wear a lap belt across the abdomen. Improper lap belt positioning could result in severe abdominal injuries and a related increase in death. We hypothesized that adult nonobese-belted occupants involved in motor vehicle crashes (MVC) have lower mortality and lower frequency of abdominal injury than obese-belted and obese-nonbelted occupants.
