Mortality due to falls by county, age group, race, and ethnicity in the USA, 2000-19: a systematic analysis of health disparities

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39095132/ Mortality due to falls by county, age group, race, and ethnicity in the USA, 2000-19: a systematic analysis of health disparities Fall-related mortality has increased rapidly over the past two decades in the USA, but the extent to which mortality varies across racial and ethnic populations, counties, and age groups is not well understood. The aim of this study was to estimate age-standardized mortality rates due to falls by racial and ethnic population, county, and age group over a 20-year period.
