Characteristics of community dwelling older adults who sought emergency department care for weather-related falls - National Electronic Injury Surveillance System – All Injury Program, 2015.

Sample for this figure includes only those older adults who made an ED visit due to a fall sustained outdoors (n = 6,485).

Percent for each sub-group was calculated with the denominator as the number of older adults who made an ED visit due to a fall sustained outdoors in that sub-group. E.g., Out of all the fall injuries sustained by males in the outdoors, 17.2% were weather-related and 82.8% (not shown) were not weather-related.
