The Brazilian population is living longer and, consequently, the occurrence of traffic accidents involving elderly people is increasing. This study aims to assess the profile of the elderly people that died due to traffic accidents in São Paulo, the largest Brazilian metropolis. From 2011 to 2015, 1,119 people aged over 60 died in traffic accidents in São Paulo. Among them, 59.2% were men; 59.5% were retired; 73.7% had low schooling; 86.6% were pedestrians. The majority of the accidents (64.5%) occurred during the day. In the city of São Paulo, elderly pedestrians have twice the chance of dying in traffic accidents, when compared to Brazil as a whole.
