Abstract：Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of elderly injury deaths and their potential years of life lost (PYLL) in Fengtai district of Beijing during 2006-2015, and to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of injury-induced death among the elderly in the district. Methods We described the characteristics of elderly injury deaths, analyzed the changing tendency, and calculated the PYLL in Fengtai district of Beijing from 2006 to 2015. Results The rank order of causes of death among the elderly in Fengtai district of Beijing during 2006-2015 showed that injury moved up to fifth place from seventh. The average mortality rate of injury was 92.02/100, 000, and it was higher in males than in females. The mortality rate of injury showed an upward trend with the increasing age of the elderly. The top three causes of death among the elderly were accidental fall, motor vehicle traffic accidents and suicides. The first cause of death in the elderly males and females was both accidental fall, but the second cause of death in the elderly females was suicide. The PYLL of injury in the elderly increased from 242.50 person-years to 305.00 person-years, showing an increasing trend. The average years of potential life lost caused by injury was about 5.38 person-years. Conclusions The mortality rate of injury in the elderly presented an upward trend with the increasing age. The first cause of injury-related death in the elderly was accidental fall, and the second cause of injury-related death in the elderly females was suicide. It is necessary to take the corresponding preventive and control measures targeted on the causes for occurrence of injury and characteristics of the elderly population.
