∗
Adjusting for other variables listed in the table assessed on the index date of fall accident.
†
49,909 control individuals also became cases.
‡
Comorbidity index in this analysis was calculated based on any combination of eight chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ischemic heart disease, depression, hypertension, stroke, atrial fibrillation, and asthma, by the index date of fall accident.
