ABSTRACT
AIM:
To analyze the mortality trend by accidental falls in Mexico, from 1979 to 2010. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
We used official mortality data in México. Variables included were mortality cause, place of lesion, age, sex, year of mortality registration, size of the town of occurrence, state, occupation, workplace falls.RESULTS:
During that period, 124,509 deaths by accidental and intentional falls were registered; of these 77.03% were men. From 1989 (3.20 per 100,000) to 2010 (1.99 per 100,000), the mortality trend was falling (ß = -0.053/ 100,000, p ≤ 0.001). In the majority of states, we found a decreased between 1993-1997 and 2006 to 2010, except in Aguascalientes, Puebla, Baja California Sur, Durango and Nuevo León.CONCLUSIONS:
This is the first study in México that showed the descending trend of mortality in accidental falls in the last two decades.
