    A Look at Falls

    According to a recent Wisconsin Emergency Medical Service (EMS) report, falls are the leading cause of death and injury in 2022 for the state of Wisconsin. 

    The WHA Information Center analyzed falls data from January 2018 to March 2023. Females aged 60 and older were found to have a higher visit count than males. They were seen in hospitals 57% of the time while males are seen 42% of the time. Emergency rooms saw the highest visit counts, followed by inpatient facilities. The average age of patients visiting for falls aged 60 and older is 78 years of age. Age group 81-90 had the highest visit counts in comparison to other age groups. A ZIP code in La Crosse County has the highest number of visits for falls in those over 60 years. Two ZIP codes in Eau Claire County have the second highest number of visits for falls.
