And its APC were -13.15% and 13.06% respectively. The drowning mortality in male was higher than that in female( P <0.05). The drowning mortality in rural area was higher than that in urban area( P <0.05). The mortality of drowning among children aged between 0 and 4 years old, 5 and 9 years old, 10 and 14 years old decreased by 15.30 %,17.80% and 11.40%( APC =-15.30%, -17.80%, -11.40%, t=11.11, 9.22, 5.62, P <0.05).
