Fall-related mortality in Spain: trends and disparities by age and gender
Fall mortality in Spain has significantly increased, particularly among older adults and men. The findings underscore the need for targeted fall prevention strategies, especially for high-risk groups. Future interventions should address gender-specific risks and emerging issues in middle-aged adults to effectively reduce fall-related mortality across all age groups.
