Traumatic brain injury among two-wheeled motor vehicle riders in Utsunomiya, Japan: a comparison between mopeds and motorcycles

ConclusionsMopeds are frequently utilized by elderly in Japan, which may have been causally associated with the higher frequency of TBI in moped riders, while other causes, including the difference in helmet type, may also be involved. This study is limited by its small sample size and retrospective design, and multi-center prospective studies are warranted.
