	%X The aim of this paper is to investigate accidents and
close call situations connected to the use of mobile phones in
working-age people ≥ 50 years old. The paper is part of a crosssectional
study that was carried out in 2002 in 15,000 working-age
Finns. The study showed that mobile-phone-related accidents and
close call situations, both at work and at leisure, are more common in
people under 50 years that in people ≥ 50 years old. However, people
under 50 use mobile phones more than those aged ≥ 50.
