*The 70+ incidence and mortality 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 deaths is the relative contribution of falls deaths to the total deaths of all causes in the population aged 70 years and older.
§Case fatality rate=death rate/incidence rate.
