Figure 5.1-2 shows the proportion of males and females in eachgroup. Gender was similarly represented in all groups. As the numberof fatalities is relatively small in comparison to the other groups,one year of data should not be interpreted as a trend.Section 5 - Injury, Fatality and PDE Population ComparisonsFigure 5.1-2Comparisonof genderdistributionby populationfor 2003.Figure 5.1-3 shows the certifications reported in the three populationsamples. Students and technical divers seemed over-representedin fatalities in comparison to PDE and injuries that had moreinstructors and divers with advanced certification.Figure 5.1-3Comparison of certificationby populationfor 2003.DAN’s <strong>Report</strong> on Decompression Illness, Diving Fatalities and Project Dive Exploration: 2005 Edition 85
Section 5 - Injury, Fatality and PDE Population ComparisonsFigure 5.1-4Comparisonof years sinceinitial certificationby populationfor 2003.Figure 5.1-4 shows the average number of years since initial certification.As in the past, PDE participants appear to have been divingfor longer than injured divers or fatalities, but this parameter variesfrom year to year, and caution is advised against over-interpretation.Figure 5.1-5 is similar to the observations from the previous year.The prevalence of high blood pressure and heart disease (HBP /HD) was highest among fatalities. Information about cigarettesmoking was not complete and probably exaggerated the annualvariation of this habit in the small samples.Figure 5.1-5Comparison ofhealth problemsby populationfor 2003.86DAN’s <strong>Report</strong> on Decompression Illness, Diving Fatalities and Project Dive Exploration: 2005 Edition
