Trends in burden of falls among children aged 0–14 years in China from 1990–2021 and prediction to 2030

The burden of falls remains a major public challenge among children aged 0-14 years, although its burden at the national level showed a downward trend from 1990 to 2021. The age-standardized YLDs rate among males, the incidence among children aged 0-4 years and the YLDs among children aged 0-9 years are projected to increase from 2022 to 2030. These findings suggest that mandatory implementation of age-specific fall-prevention protocols in kindergartens and primary schools nationwide and expand the coverage of injury surveillance and implement it nationwide.
