SUMMARY:

“The study aimed to characterize the profile of mortality related to fall accidents among elderly people, in 2021, in Brazil. This is an observational, retrospective, descriptive study based on secondary data. The analysis included deaths of people aged 60 or over, throughout Brazil, registered in the Mortality Information System (SIM), codes from the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) related to falls (W01 to W19). The variables collected were: sex, age, race/color, education, marital status, occupation, administrative region and place of death. On an individual basis, descriptive statistical analyzes were carried out and, in aggregate form, the age-standardized mortality rate due to falls among the elderly in Brazil was calculated. The variables collected were: sex, age, race/color, education, marital status, occupation, administrative region and place of death. On an individual basis, descriptive statistical analyzes were carried out and, in aggregate, the age-standardized mortality rate due to falls among elderly people in Brazil was calculated in the year 2021. Data extraction, manipulation and analysis were carried out using the R language. In 2021, 11,603 deaths due to falls were recorded among elderly people in Brazil. The frequency of deaths due to falls among females was 51.66% and 58.30% in those aged 80 or over; death was higher among those self-declared to be white (62.63%), those with 4 to 7 years of schooling completed (24.55%) and those without a partner (59.6%). In relation to occupation, retired or pensioner (35.44%) and housewife (16.47%) represented more than 50% of deaths. The most common place of death was one's own home (38.04%). In Brazil, the crude mortality rate due to falls among elderly people was 37.03 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. The age-standardized mortality rate due to falls was highest in the Central-West region (54.85), followed by the South (48.22), Southeast (32.88), North (31.17) and Northeast (27.06). Knowing the profile of deaths due to falls can help guide health guidelines and policies aimed at preventing health problems and promoting health among the elderly population.” U
