Methods: We adopted multi-stage stratified random sampling method. Our research object included 2118 household residents, 4611 inhabitants from 44 towns, 146 villages in three counties of xiji, haiyuan, tongxin. Results: Survey results show that agricultural injury incidence rate is 9.09%, the injured person rate is 12.6%. The two numbers together mean that once a person is injured, it?s very much possible for that person to have another or more injured incidences in a year. Men?s agricultural injury incidence rate is 9. 9%, while women?s agricultural injury incidence rate is 9.09%, Men have higher incidence rate than women. And education is also a significant factor, the lower is the education level, the higher is the incidence rate. The top five of agricultural injury species are knife/sharp instrument injury, sprain/strain, falls, motor vehicle trauma, and blunt injury. Multivariate analysis shows that many other factors have influence on injury incidence, such as age, eyesight, physical disability, ethnicity, marital status, smoking status, sleeping quality and medication, main occupation and spared-time activities, production methods. Whether a person receives security education also has influence. Conclusion: We can get the conclusion that agricultural hurt brings rural residents great bodily harm, and thus brings about huge economic losses. We should fully consider the injured crowd features, hurt types, moth distribution and other effective factors, take corresponding measures for controlling and improve security knowledge publicity.
