Thus the hazards to health observed from these two earthquakes can be summarised as follows: massive immediate damage, the main victims being women and children; the seriously injured suffer mainly from fractures (17%), head injuries (15-30%) and soft tissue conusions with haemhorrage; a change in the physical features of a country which unfavourably affect the environment; some time after the earthquake the appearance of communicable disease; increases in cases of cardiovascular disease neuroses and psychoses
