Abstract

We have analyzed the report on data of all deaths among 60 year-olds and above in Hai Dian District from 1987 to 1994. The results showed that the mortality of injuries in aging group had a decreasing trend in the last 8 years. The main reasons of death of injuries in this area are fall, traffic accident, poisoning and suicide. Thus the prevention of injury in elderly population should be considered very important.
