“…Earlier studies from LMICs and Bangladesh have also highlighted this [6,7,10,17,18,24,25]. A multisite unintentional injury surveillance study conducted in five LMICs found that about half of all emergency department visits among children aged 0-12 years were as a result of falls [7].…”

“…A multisite unintentional injury surveillance study conducted in five LMICs found that about half of all emergency department visits among children aged 0-12 years were as a result of falls [7]. Again, most fall injuries are found to occur in or around the home environment, and during play [6,7,10,17,18]. This could be because children in LMICs lack designated and safe play areas [26].…”

“…In rural Bangladesh, men play an active role outside the home, and may be involved in high-risk behaviors and occupations that increase their risk of falling [2]. Previous studies have found falls to be more frequent among boys [6,7,10,17,18]. This could be because boys tend to play outside the house, and are exposed to greater risk compared with girls, who are mostly involved in household activities [17,18].…”

Globally, falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths, with 80% occurring in low-and middle-income countries. The overall objective of this study is to describe the burden and risk factors of falls in rural Bangladesh. In 2013, a large household survey covering a population of 1,169,593 was conducted in seven rural sub-districts of Bangladesh to assess the burden of all injuries, including falls. The recall periods for non-fatal and fatal injuries were six and 12 months, respectively. Descriptive, bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted. The rates of non-fatal and fatal falls were 36.3 per 1000 and 5 per 100,000 population, respectively. The rates of both fatal and non-fatal falls were highest among the elderly. The risk of non-fatal falls was higher at extremes of age. Lower limb and waist injuries were frequent following a fall. Head injuries were frequent among infants (35%), while lower limb and waist injuries were frequent among the elderly (>65 years old). Injuries to all body parts (except the waist) were most frequent among men. More than half of all non-fatal falls occurred in a home environment. The injury patterns and risk factors of non-fatal falls differ by sociodemographic factors.
