  • *The 70+YLD, YLL and DALY rates by country were age standardised within the 70+-year age group.

  • †Rank numbers based on values from highest (1) to lowest (22).

  • ‡Per cent of total DALYs is the relative contribution of falls DALYs to the total DALYs of all causes in the population aged 70 years and older.

  • DALY, disability-adjusted life year; YLD, year lived with disability; YLL, year of life lost.
