Abstract:Objective To investigate the epidemiological features and trend of accidental fall death among elderly people in Pudong New Area of Shanghai Municipality from 2002 to 2015, and to provide evidence for formulating the corresponding intervention measures. Methods According to the data regardingaccidental fall deaths of elderly residents in Pudong New Area from 2002 to 2015, the crude death rate, standardized mortality rate, annual percent change (APC), percent change (PC) among different age groups and other indicators were calculated to analyze the status and trend of death of accidental fall among the elderly.Results The annual average crude death rate (CDR) of accidental fall among the elderly aged 60 years and above in Pudong New Area from 2002 to 2015 was 54.95/100,000, and the standardized mortality rate was 36.70/100,000. Accidental fall was the major cause leading to injury deaths among the elderly, accounting for 45.74% of the total. During these 14 years, the mortality rate of accidental fall of the elderly showed a downward trend year by year (APC=-3.87, Z=-6.41, P<0.001), but rose with the increasing age (PC=18.57%, Z=13.45, P<0.001). The mortality rate of accidental fall was higher in females than in males (Z=-10.94, P<0.001), but the rates in both males and females showed adownward trend (APCmale=-2.26%, Zmale=-4.07, P=0.002; APCfemale=-4.70%, Zfemale=-5.68, P<0.001). The mortality rate of accidental fall was higher in suburban senior citizecs than in urban ones (Z=2.32, P=0.022). The mortality rates of accidental fall in both urban and suburbansenior citizensshowed a declining trend (APCurban=-3.14%, Zurban=-4.72, P<0.001; APCsuburban=-6.14%, Zsuburban=-5.94, P<0.001). Conclusions The accidental fall mortality among the elderly in Pudong New Area during 2002-2015 presented a downward trend year by year. More attention should be paid to preventing against accidental fall death in rural elderly people, and further precaution should be taken.
