*The 70+YLD, YLL and DALY rates by country were age standardised within the 70+-year age group.

†Rank numbers based on values from highest (1) to lowest (22).

‡Per cent of total DALYs is the relative contribution of falls DALYs to the total DALYs of all causes in the population aged 70 years and older.

DALY, disability-adjusted life year; YLD, year lived with disability; YLL, year of life lost.
