Tuesday, July 07, 2015
In May, the National Center for Health Statistics published a data brief called "Death from Unintentional Injury Among Older Adults Aged 65 and Over: United States, 2000-2013." One of the key findings of the study was that the age-adjusted fall-injury death rate among older adults has nearly doubled from 2000 to 2013 — from 29.6 per 100,000 to 56.7 per 100,000.
