This indicator shows the percent of older adults aged 45 and over who were injured in a fall in the past year.
Why is this important?
The risk of unintentional falls increases with age, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that around 1 in 3 adults aged 65 years and older falls each year. Many falls result in emergency department visits and hospitalizations, fractures, and trauma, and the impact of these injuries resulting from unintentional falls on the quality of life is enormous. Interventions that reduce the risk of seniors falling will yield significant public health benefits.
