Falls in older aged adults in 22 European countries: incidence, mortality and burden of disease from 1990 to 2017

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

From 1990 to 2017, there was considerable variation in fall-related injury incidence, mortality, DALY rates and its composites in the 22 countries in the Western European region. It may be useful to assess which fall prevention measures have been taken in countries that showed continuous low or decreasing incidence, death and DALY rates despite ageing of the population.
