Abbreviations: FIMA, fall injuries with medical attention
*All injury events are placed into the most definitive category for which they are eligible, ordered from most to least definitive: (1) hip fracture, (2) other fracture, (3) dislocation, (4) cut with evidence of closure, or (5) all other injuries
**Incidence rate is per 100 person-years of follow-up (PYF). The intervention group had a total of 6338.31 PYF; the control group had a total of 6042.51 PYF
