Abstract

Using best available nationally representative data, we produce annual estimates of injury incidence for older adults for 2004 to 2017: (1) all-cause fatal and nonfatal injury, (2) fatal and non-fatal falls, (3) fatal and nonfatal injuries due to non-fall causes, and (4) minor and serious nonfatal injuries.
