Falling and Excess Mortality

Meta-analysis: Excess Mortality After Hip Fracture Among Older Women and Men — Ann Intern Med

Conclusion: Older adults have a 5- to 8-fold increased risk for all-cause mortality during the first 3 months after hip fracture. Excess annual mortality persists over time for both women and men, but at any given age, excess annual mortality after hip fracture is higher in men than in women.
